Product Description

When Jessica's parents split up, she is confused. Jessica can't understand how people can fall out of love any more than she can understand how her best friend can fall in love with a boy called Cedric who wears a luminous anorak, when Jessica herself will settle for nothing less than complete perfection. And what about her art teacher, Mrs Mills? How can she be single when she's so pretty without her glasses? Jessica can see that her help is needed and just like a modern day Emma, sets about interfering with the love lives of those closest to her (when she really should have known better). This is a very funny, very touching exploration of a teenager getting to grips with the complicated rules of attraction, and quietly deals with much bigger themes of family, friendship and responsibility.

Customer Reviews

Drama Queen
This book was good. It is about a girl who moves to a flat with her Mum after her parents split up and her journey of match-making different people, and just generally her daily life. For ages of about 10-15.

Brillant teen tale!
Drama queen is all about the very complecated life of Jessica. After her Mum and Dad split up shes's determined to get them back together and her matchmaking skills don't end there when she tries to set up her best friend with her posh neighbour Cedric and even tries to get her teachers together. But suddenly something very strange happens when a mysterious card arrives at Jessica's house not for her as it is a card from somones secret admirier but even though she only has names to gone on Jessica virtually devotes her life to finding out who sent the card. It's a hugely funny book that will leave you smiling. ( 14+)

Drama Queen
I think that it was a good book, but i think that it could have had a better tital because it doesen't really relate to the book.
