Cousins Yasmin and Ruby have always been rivals, but both sides of the story are exposed in this cleverly composed clean-teen novella.
“Karen McCombie is one of the most accomplished, prolific and underrated children's authors writing today. Her books are packed with relatable characters, bags of empathy, humour and situations young readers can really relate to. This dyslexia-friendly novella is perfectly pitched for a tween or early teen audience.”
~Emily
Ruby can’t stand her “perfect” cousin Yasmin. Yasmin is pretty, popular and has a gorgeous boyfriend Max. She’s set to get excellent grades in her GCSEs and her parents won’t stop going on about how brilliant she is.
Ruby always feel small and hopeless around Yasmin, and whenever she gets any attention, Yasmin tries to make sure the spotlight turns back to her.
Or that’s how Ruby feels anyway. But is there another side to the story?
Karen McCombie has had more than 100 books published since the runaway success of her 'ALLY'S WORLD' series in the early 2000s. In a past life, Karen worked as a journalist on teenage girls' magazines such as 'Just 17' and 'Sugar'. Her hobbies include scribbling random observations in notebooks, brushing cat hair from the keyboard of her laptop, walking her scruffy dog and posting nonsense on Instagram.
