Family Sold Separately
by Kate Long
"I've been thinking about things, Poll, and I want you to call me Kat." I said it quite loudly, partly because there was a bouncy theme tune to contend with, and partly because I wanted her to understand right from the word go that I was serious about it. Poll's frowning face appeared around the door. "You want me to call you a cat?" "No," said Dogman's voice from behind her. "Don't be daft. She wants you to call her a cab."This book is a riot! It's so British and it's so funny. This is one of my favourite moments so far in the book. It's a perfect example of how Katherine's life at home is both frustrating and comical. Review coming soon!

Speaking of British (kind of), I'm going to tease the meme by recommending a Canadian series on Netflix called Slings and Arrows. Literate, modern, funny, and snippets of some of the best Shakespeare you'll ever see.
