Pretty Funny
Autor Rebecca Elliotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2020 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Does anyone ever really want to 'fall' in love? Knowing me I'll just trip over it and graze my knee on the gravel of humiliation.
Haylah Swinton is fairly confident she's brilliant at being a girl.
She's an ace best friend, a loving daughter, and an INCREDIBLY patient sister to her four-year-old total nutter of a brother, Noah.
But she has a secret. She wants to be a stand-up comedian, but she's pretty sure girls like her - big girls, girls who don't get all the boys, girls who a lot of people don't see - don't belong on stage.
That hasn't stopped her dreaming though, and when the seemingly perfect opportunity to write routines for older, cooler, impossibly funny Leo arises . . . well, what's a girl to do? But is Leo quite an interested in helping Haylah as he says he is?
Will Haylah ever find the courage to step into the spotlight herself? And when oh when will people stop telling her she's 'funny for a girl'?!

Notă biografică
When
Rebecca
was
six,
she
precociously
pronounced
that
she
wanted
to
be
'an
artist
and
a
writer'.
After
a
'brief'
detour
from
this
career
plan
involving
wanting
to
be
Stephen
Fry,
a
degree
in
philosophy
and
a
dull
office
job,
she
fulfilled
her
dream
in
2001
when
she
became
a
full
time
children's
book
illustrator.
Ultimately
proving,
if
nothing
else,
that
once
her
mind
is
made
up
she
really
can't
be
bothered
to
change
it.
Since then she has become an award-winning and bestselling author of over 30 books for children, including her ongoing series Owl Diaries which has sold over 6 million copies worldwide.
If she's not story-making Rebecca can be found reading, podcasting with her comedian best friend, drumming or singing in her band, making something (normally a mess), or just hanging out in sunny Suffolk with her gorgeous children, permanently frantic dog Frida and sarcastic cat Bernard.

Elliott writes teenagers well, refraining from trying to use any slang . . . and just focusing on the issues that seem to come up for all teenagers, no matter what new tech is added to their life. It's alsoso refreshing to read about a young woman with ambition and passionthat is not, say, a vampire/werewolf love interest . . .[Haylah] is a realistic character I believe plenty of teenagers would identify with. . . I wish this book had been written when I was a teenager!
