With a distinct lack of boobage and an arse so big that birds of prey could nest within its shadows, Jess Jordan is saddled with the Goddess Flora for a best friend, a Britney Spears look-alike so gorgeous that one grain of her divine dandruff could make the blind see again. Jess knows that her soul mate is Ben Jones, a divine mixture of Leonardo diCaprio, Prince William, and Brad Pitt who oozes mystery and charisma. But the campaign to get Ben to notice her brings on a cavalcade of mortification and disaster, including, but not limited to, a minestrone soup explosion that takes place in her bra and a schoolwide viewing of a videotape that features a topless Jess referring to her breasts as \"Bonnie\" and \"Clyde.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, Jess's death-obsessed Granny moves into her bedroom, along with her grandfather's remains; her hypochondriac dad, who sends her daily \"horrorscopes\" like \"You will fall asleep with your mouth open, and a family of earwigs will move in,\" acts strange about Jess staying with him this summer; and her longtime friend Fred, a television violence addict and closet thumbsucker, has decided that he can't stand being around her. Jess is determined to make things right . . . but with her offbeat sense of humor and her wildly active imagination, things get complicated along the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSue Limb\u003c\/b\u003e's writing career started in London around 1980, with various assignments for magazines and newspapers, and her first radio work, \u003ci\u003eBig and Little\u003c\/i\u003e, which won a Sony Award for Best Children's Programme. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer children's books include \u003ci\u003eBig and Little, China Lee, Me Jane, Big Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMr Loopy and Mrs Snoopy\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eCome Back, Grandma\u003c\/i\u003e is published by Random House UK and was shortlisted for the Smarties Prize.
