Instant Messages [PDF ebook] 

Life is tough for fifteen-year-old computer nerd Olivia Best, a typical teenage misfit, very much a loner, who is being severely bullied by a gang of boys from a neighbouring estate. Together with her trusted ally, a stuffed toy green frog, Olivia attempts to navigate the stormy seas of her existence. INSTANT MESSAGES is a fresh and contemporary look at a troubled London family. "Hilarious!" "Excellent!" "Its light and ironic touch makes Instant Messages a page-turner and gives it substance." — International Proverse Prize Judges.
