Her mum and dad are embarrassingly scruffy and their car bonnet is a different colour to the rest of the car. Worst of all, theyre still in love, which is totally gross considering how ancient they are. Her best friend is a (nice) nerd, her love-rival is an airhead the colour of creosote and her dog Simon is in love with an Ugg boot. Despite all this, she hatches a plan indeed many plans to win the gorgeous Damiens affections. But when she brings Simon to the park to show him off in front of Damien, a smelly little accident lands Danielle withthe nickname Dench the Stench. Could things get any worse? When Simon is accused of biting children in the neighbourhood and her Dad decides to have him taken away, Danielles life truly begins to unravel. And then her mother announces shes pregnant again which gives Danielles schoolmates even more ammunition with which to make fun of her. Will Damian ever notice her? Can she save Simon? And will Danielle ever live her family down? Find out in this spirited, honest and funny book about teenage and family life by Times columnist Carol Midgley.
