Jean Ure returns with more warmth and wit in a brilliant book about what happens when two girls decide to run away from home.

Fourteen-year-old Jade is fed up with fighting with her mum and step-dad, and her shy sixteen-year-old friend Honey is having a miserable time with her mum, but when Jade decides they should both run away, Honey isn’t so sure.

It’s only when they get to London and things don’t work out quite how they expected that Honey shows she has hidden depths, and Jade realises that home is not so bad after all…
