An achingly funny, touching story for anyone who has been thrown in at
the deep end. 'Smart and funny. It will tug at your heartstrings' Dawn
O'Porter. It's 1979, and thirteen-year-old Lydia has no idea how she'll
cope when her dad announces that the family has to sell up and move onto
a Thames sailing barge in Essex.
With his girlfriend. And her
three kids. Between trying to keep her clothes dry in a leaky cabin,
disastrous hair-dye attempts, awkward encounters with local boys, and
coping with her suddenly enormous and troublesome family, Lydia fears
she'll sink rather than swim . . . At turns heartbreaking and
uplifting, through Lydia's innocent and perceptive voice we find out
that while the mud may stick, the tide can turn - and in unexpected and
joyful ways.
Perfect for fans of Louise Rennison, Hilary McKay and Rae Earl
