Half My Facebook Friends Are Ferrets cover

Fifteen-year-old Josh fantasises about becoming a death metal guitarist complete with tattoos, piercings and hoards of adoring fans. But it’s not easy when his super-strict mom won’t let him grow his hair! Luckily Josh has a way of coping with life’s setbacks; it’s only a diary, but it contains all Josh’s hopes, dreams and frustrations (not to mention some great ideas for band names and lyrics!). There’s a lot he wants to get done before his 16th birthday, but things never turn out quite like he plans… What Josh doesn’t know is that his mother also kept a diary, back about the time he was born, and a secret in there holds the key to Josh’s life becoming a whole lot more metal. Half My Facebook Friends Are Ferrets is part of The Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge 2014.

It was all about self discovery and it was…amusing to have an insight into Molly's life as she works her way around living life as a teenager and juggling all the other problems that inevitably come her way. - it was lovely reading you. Blogspot. * it was lovely reading you. Blogspot. *

A hilarious insight into the mind of a teenage misfit. A very, very funny book which will appeal to teenagers and adults alike. - Sarah Harper, Love Reading 4 Kids - Reader Review Panel * Love Reading 4 Kids - Reader Review Panel *
...a little gem of a book.  It's an updated Adrian Mole, perfect for fans of Boys Don't Knit by T.S. Easton and the Kelly Ann series by Liz Rettig. I hope there's a sequel in the works as I'd love to know what happens to Josh when he hits college - my guess is that it'll be like The Inbetweeners with ferrets. Fingers crossed we'll find out! - Wondrous Reads * Wondrous Reads *
