Olivia goes through changes like every teen~

Olivia Hunter is a normal British girl who goes through lots of normal everyday things. Examples: Her mother and her poor, her dad leaves them and hangs with the Wretched Rosalie, her boyfriend Adam dumped her (she thinks because of her thighs and looks), her friend Poppy is at a different school, and is an only child. At the end of the book, she says to her "mum" that she realizes that life can be very ODD. Because at the end, her new boyfriend Ryan turns out to be her half-brother! Then his mum spoke to Livi's mum about her goblins being sold, by helping her to have a meeting with her friend. And she and Livi go off to London because her mum might get lots of money for her goblins! While they're there, Livi meets and hangs with her half-brother's mum's friend's daughter, Sophie. So Livi was glad that she had met her because she is a good friend. A friend of Livi's at school named Hayley convinces her that she should come to the Stomping Ground with the "gang"-Tamsin, Hayley, Adam, Abigail, some other peoples too. Livi sees the Ryan guy there the seocnd time. And of course, they dance. In this book, there's a big shock about Adam...but, you have to find out for yourself, though. Sorry.. Meanwhile, Livi's mum gets a wacky lodger whose also an author named Leonora. And her dad and Rosalie of course move near Livi and her mum to Leehampton, I think. The city I mean. Livi finds herself starting to like Rosalie instead of HATE her like she wants to actually. Then another surprise is in store for Livi about her family also. So I thought that this British novel was a captivating book. It was also cool that the author put some British words to let some of us understand. This book of the Fab Five Series was so great, I even got another one and also even want to go to England myself someday! LOL. So read this book if you like books by Rosie Rushton, girls going through normal 24/7 things, and books that sort of relate to your original teenage life.

What a wonderful Book!

This book is wonderful! It applies to me and all the other 13 year old girls in the world. I recommend it to anyone else, because this is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have read quite a few. I look forward to reading more books by Rosie Rushton!

Poor Livi!

Olivia Hunter has more problems than she knows what to do with. Her best friend moved schools, her boyfriend dumped her, her father left the family to live with his new partner Rosalie, her mother is having money problems, and everything has gone wrong. But Olivia is finding it harder and harder to hate Rosalie, and then she meets Ryan. Is he too good to be true? (this is a GREAT book! I never knew what was going to happen! If you're into stories about girls your age dealing with boys and other problems, read this book!

Poor Olivia!!

"her father has left the family to go live with Wretched Rosalie. her boyfriend dumped her (and she just knows it's because of her freckels and fat thighs). Poppy, her best friend, has moved away, and to top everything off, her mother has decided to take in some wacky lodger. but then, gorgeous Ryan starts to notice Olivia. could things finally be looking up?" Or at least that's what it say's on the back of the book! it was a very good book and definatly has a good sequal, "Poppy".
