The Blog of Maisy Malone [Kindle Edition]
My name is Maisy Malone. I’m seventeen years old, live in a ratty council house with my 60 year old, near-alcoholic Dad and a dog with a leaky bum.
This is my blog. You can either like it, or you can…well… blog off!! ;o)
Maisy is seventeen and has reason to be seriously fed up. Her Dad spends his days stagnating in his armchair, watching re-runs of Bargain Hunt, shouting abuse at their neurotic dog, Dave, or nursing his pint down at the Pride. Her mum fled the place years ago, on the back of a clapped-out, old bike, and is now planning the wedding of the year, to a man so damp you could grow mushrooms on him. Even her mates are distracted these days; Poppy is to be found rattling out her vampire love story and Jess is too busy obsessing over the latest bad boy to cross her path. Trouble is, her latest conquest is Maisy’s detested older brother, Ollie – recently returned to the family home. But what secret is he hiding?
And now Maisy has dropped out of sixth form in an attempt to bring some money into the family home. But will a range of eye-opening, temporary assignments provide Maisy the freedom she is searching for?
Or is home always where the heart is?
Reviews
"Oh, goodness me. My cheeks ache. Maisy's adventures and misadventures really made me laugh. Eve Ainsworth has a great feel for the absurd and some remarkable comic timing" - Jill Murphy, The Bookbag
"Maisy has more problems to deal with than most and these are explored with honesty and a certain gravitas, but with the humour created by life-like characters with the qualities and flaws of real human beings. A real fun and uplifting read." - Nikki Mason, Bestchicklit
