The first book in the Primrose Leary trilogy from the multi-awarding author of Tangleweed and Brine.
Primrose Leary has just started secondary school.
Likes: her pet rat, Roderick; her best friend, Joel; being a little bit different (but not in the weird different sense – she wouldn’t like to be the only bald girl in her class or the only girl who always smelled of ham, or anything).
Dislikes: living with Fintan (her moustachioed dad); the boy-school that Joel’s toddled off to without her; not having her mum around any more. Hilariously and cleverly written, Prim Improper is the debut novel from Deirdre Sullivan.
‘Hilariously written, very clever and an original, addictive read.’ — Mary Esther Judy, bookseller
‘So original … It had a sort of addictive quality to it – like you couldn’t put it down!’ Bríd, 14
‘Written with a light touch and a good ear for teenage vernacular. It should strike a chord with girls who know just how hard it is to be 13.’
* Inis Magazine *‘The best children’s-fiction debut I’ve read in a long time … Few authors can write hilarious books about serious subjects without awkward shifts in tone, but Sullivan pulls it off brilliantly … one of the most entertaining books that I’ve read this year.’
-- Anna Carey * The Irish Tim- Short-listed for Children's Books Ireland Awards 2011 (Ireland)
