Melina Marchetta<br/><br/>You know those movies where teenagers have the summer of their lives?<br/><br/>This summer is probably not going to be that.<br/><br/>Here lies Maisie Martin, dead from embarrassment, aged sixteen.<br/><br/>The last thing Maisie Martin thought she'd be doing this summer is entering a beauty pageant.<br/><br/>Not when she's spent most of her life hiding her body from everyone.<br/><br/>Not when her Dad is AWOL for Christmas and her best friend starts going out with the boy she's always loved.<br/><br/>But Maisie's got something to prove. And she's not going to let anything or anyone - including herself - hold her back.<br/><br/>PRAISE FOR WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ME<br/><br/>''''I wish I could have read this when I was fifteen - it would have changed everything.''''
