Recommendations from our site
This is a light and funny novel about growing up with a parent affected by depression. Convinced that it will help get her mother out of depression, 11 year old Lucy pairs up with her friend Sandesh in a far-fetched scheme which involves entering the Record Smasher game show. The author finely balances the serious message with a lot of ridiculous situations and quirky facts in this laugh-out-loud story.
