It's 1969 and Louise has just turned 15.She's obsessed with The Beatles, George Best's girlfriend (who lives beside her granny), escaping to anywhere with a bit of sunshine, eye shadows, boys with long hair, her awful legs and her life ruining spots. And then, just as she's ready to get out there and enjoy the tail end of the swinging sixties (Belfast style), the city erupts into chaos. Her mother has always sworn that she was more trouble than her seven younger brothers all put together as she refused to take NO for an answer. After reading this you may very well agree!
‘ A dose of social history, served up with lots of laughs. I felt as if I was there with Louise the whole way through the book!’
