My Big Birkett

14-year-old Gemma’s deranged older sister has an obsession with bizarre swan costumes and an immature juvenile delinquent appears to have a substantial crush on her. She must also deal with a crazed fellow bridesmaid, and a soon-tobe brother-in-law’s preposterous fanaticism with war. To chuck a Big Birkett means to have such a massive outburst of unnecessary emotion that it appears your eyes are going to burst. Will Gemma manage to prevent herself from throwing the most enormous Birkett in the history of the world? A witty and sharp book with deep emotional expression and a must-read for budding Birkett chuckers! Nicki Carter (aged 12) is a customer at Readings Carlton.
