Cringe! Book

Amaryllis Rosanna Lillian Flowerdew is an almost-13-year-old girl who lived with her weird family - Dad, the owner of healthy shops named "Flowerdew, Son and Daughter" (what kind of name is that???); Mom, work-at-home counselor, loves to wear swaying-earrings; Ben, the eldest, drop out before graduated from high school, he called himself street poet, rock musician, drummer in GOB (Get Out of Bed); Hugo, the youngest, wiseacre boy who acts like he knows everything; Giggles, the dog, that never giggle at all; Frank, the cockatoo, that curse all the bad words all the time. She has a best friend named Xanthe, the perfect girl who has everything - perfect body, fashionable mother and father, boobs, awesome house, and phone! Don't forget to mention Nono, her grandma, the only normal family she has.

This book tells her story; her weird family, when she becomes bridesmaid in her aunt's wedding, dad's painting, when her dad goes to America to paint the president, and her 13th birthday party. The book is really amusing me because of the funny illustration also the "teeny" language style. I like the font style that suits Amaryllis so much. Although Amaryllis always thought that her life is such a bad luck, the moral story is that no matter how weird your family is, they will always on your side when you need them. So, try to appreciate their effort to make you happy; you don't know what have they passed to make it all happen.
