It’s your girl Bím Blake reporting from the second term of Year Seven. I thought I was getting the hang of this whole high school thing, but it’s been one plot twist after another . . .I’ve been put in the lowest Maths set (rude!) and, to make matters worse, I accidentally calculated twenty-seven pounds change from a tenner in front of the whole class. Big L! Hot Take No. 1: Maths lessons should be illegal.I’m also trying to organise THE birthday party of all birthday parties, but nothing is going to plan because mysterious forces seem to be sabotaging me (I have suspects in mind . . .)Then there’s Dad in his ‘I’ve got everything under control’ era (spoiler: he doesn’t), the twins fussing over their e-scooters like they’re literal newborn babies, my aunts AKA P-Squared snooping where they shouldn’t, and Jerry the dog forgetting how to dog. My life is basically a series finale!But with BTS (Besties That Slay), Shane (have you seen how fit he is?!) and my loud-but-lovable family by my side, I might just survive this next term – crush confessions, spot outbreaks, tutoring tantrums and all.PRAISE FOR BÍM BLAKE'S HOT TAKES:‘Funny, warm and relatable – the perfect book for tweens moving up into year seven.’ Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.
