IF YOU THINK YOUR FAMILY'S TOPSY TURVY, TRY LIVING OUR OUR HOUSE
Chloe Deal has to write about her house for a school project but she's a bit embarrassed of her slightly wonky home. For a start, the front door won't open, bats live in the dusty attic and the spare room has a huge Megadeath mural!
It's always chaotic because the house hast to fit Chole's big shamobilic family (and two cats) all under one roof. Her younger brother William D will climb ANYTHING, teenager Jacob is never there, Daddy's always annoying Mummy by inventing dangerous games like Shrink Hunt and BOOM-Ball, and her younger sister Daisy is convinced the spare room is haunted . . .
This house is a little unusual, but perhaps it's just perfect for the Deal family?

Riassunto
An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph
Chloe Deal is observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets to mow the lawn, again.
So when Chloe starts a school project about her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school. Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house, her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?
Prefazione
MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS meets OUTNUMBERED in a funny and charming story about an eccentric, loveable family
Testo aggiuntivo
The cover invites us to meet the Deal family: clumsy, chaotic and mad as a bunch of daffodils and the readers will not be disappointed (...) Chloe's humourous anecdotes (...) keep the story bubbling along, and teachers and librarians may well be reminded of the Hilary McKay novels with serious themes running through the humour (...) Definitely recommended
