When she's not trying to keep a pig in the back garden or letting her car slide into the river, she has a knack of embarrassing Kate in front of her friends, especially Chas, the only good-looking boy in her class. After one really bad day, Kate decides to take up her Dad's advice to 'get it off her chest'...My Mum and Other Horror Stories is a hilarious account of family life which was shortlisted for the Birmingham Cable Children's Book Award.
