This book is, as the British would say, brilliant. I would describe it as a British version of Judy Blume's Superfudge. My 5-year-old picked it out at the library and we have all laughed listening to the audio-tape version, read by an excellent reader with an English accent. If you can find it, it is well worth the read.
