This is the funny, funky story of Hazel Anne Mooney, told by the girl herself. Hazel is fourteen, smart, funny and fed up. How could anyone whose initials spell HAM, who only manages set one at school for English and Food Tech and who, let's face it, is far from model-girl slim, be anything but fed up? But Hazel's tormentor, the gorgeous, glamorous, all-achieving Lauren Stevenson, class bitch and bully, is about to fall apart under the pressure to stay pencil-thin. And when the conflict between the two girls comes to a head, the outcome takes everyone by surprise, especially Hazel!
