Publisher's Synopsis

Cold Comfort Farm meets Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging in this warm-hug-of-a-story!

'[Molly] is an endearing, clever heroine with echoes of Siobhan Parkinson and Deirdre Sullivan, and like those writers Carragher is capable of breaking your heart when we realise the emotional depth behind the witty voices' IRISH TIMES

'[A] wonderfully entertaining, crisis-filled story' CAROUSEL

Molly Darling wants life to be as simple as wellies and porridge - this is rural Ireland after all.

Instead, Mum's hiding in the attic; Dad's run away, leaving only a PowerPoint to explain; her sister has a ham sandwich for a fiancé; there's a boy and THE silence; her BFF will stop at nothing to go viral; and the chickens are missing.

It's enough to make any girl cantankerous. But she'll fix it all. Easy, right?

  • An exciting young Irish writer with a distinctive voice, Alvy Carragher's debut is funny, fresh and full of heart.
  • Follows a brilliant ensemble cast of characters in a rural Irish setting as relatable Molly tried to fix her family troubles.
  • Cold Comfort Farm meets Angus, Things and Full-Frontal Snogging - perfect for fans of Louise Rennison.
