'Thank You so much and keep up the really good books
because I Love your books' From your fan Matthew

Jack says:

I have a great family, but they drive me crazy sometimes.

There's Nanna, who is obsessed with buying bargains, especially purple underpants. Her teeth fall out too.

There's Mum, who does star jumps. I wish she wouldn't do them, especially in public.

There's my sort-of-step-dad Rob, who is the best dish washer in the whole world. He doesn't get it. I don't really care if plates sparkle.

Rob's real son is Leo, except I think I'm Rob's son too. Maybe.

There's my sister Samantha, who is in love with dogs, especially Floppy, who is big and flat and stuffed.

Sometimes I think there's something wrong with my sister.

There's my best friend Anna, who is ... well, she's nice.

And ME. Jack. I'm twelve and a scientist.
