Guy thought his parents getting divorced was bad enough - but now his mum's decided to remarry. Could it get any worse? Yes. Her boyfriend, Jerry, is a professional clown and father to Lana, the meanest, toughest girl in school. Guy and Lana have never had anything in common - but now they must join forces to stop the wedding. Can they come up with a foolproof plan before they end up as one big, unhappy family?

Review
Quirky character, rapid fire repartee and a series of devastatiing disaster combine to make this a story which most 10 to 12-year-olds will enjoy. * The School Librarian * [Not A Proper Mum!] 'Its deft balance of comedy and pathos and its credible characters will hit home.' * Publishers Weekly * [Not My Parents] 'A clever take on the search for one's identity.' * School Library Journal * [Not My Parents] '... the writing and characterisation in this highly entertaining short novel make it a far from ordinary read.' * Michael Thorn, TES Teacher * Guy's wry observations of goofy adult behaviour and his sarcastic exchanges keep the laughs coming. The first-person narrative remains breezy while deftly and subtly charting Guy's continuing adjustment to the sobering issues of parental divorce, remarriage, and blending families. * The Horn Book *
