Primrose Leary, age 13. Likes: her pet rat, Roderick; sausage sandwiches;
dancing Santas; her best friend, Joel and being a little bit different (but not
in the weird different sense, like she wouldn’t like to be the only bald girl
in her class or the only girl who always smelled of ham, or anything)
Dislikes: living with Fintan (her moustachioed Dad), human statues; pet-bigots
who are all ‘You have a rat? That is SO disgusting!’ and not having her mum
around any more.
Hilariously and cleverly written whilst dealing with serious issues through
the eyes of a savvy, kooky 13-year-old girl, Prim Improper is the debut novel
from Deirdre Sullivan.
