Goggle-Eyes
Author: Anne Fine
Publisher: Puffin
Witty and thought-provoking, this book demonstrates Anne Fine’s genius for dialogue and for observing the quirkiness of daily life. As Kitty unfolds the story of her family’s relationship with her mother’s new boyfriend, there are many memorable episodes, particularly Gerald’s reaction to the untidy state of Kitty’s room, and the outing to protest at the nuclear power station. Anne Fine captures the complex emotions of teenagers involved in the forging of new families.
