Edwina begins a journal in order to leave evidence should there be a murder inquiry. With Edwina's father away in Antarctica, brother Julian hopeless as usual and Gran thinking she is sixteen again with World War II going on, Edwina must cope alone. The school front is not much better. Girls begin toppling off their chairs in the classrooms suffering from a raging dieting epidemic. Edwina suspects the school bully Krystal Shard and her gang, The Gems, are responsible. It is up to Edwina, operating on barely enough sustenance for even a person with an ordinary-sized intellect, to save herself and family, stop Krystal and find out what is really going on with her mother! EDWINA SPARROW by award-winning author Carol Chataway will have teenage girls rolling with laughter.
