The sixth gloriously funny and poignant book about family life in Jean Ure's series of 'secret' diary stories. Who wants to be one of three? And who wants to be the middle one of three? Polly is stuck in the middle, with a beautiful, fashion-conscious older sister and a high-achieving younger brother grabbing all the attention.
