Cherryâs teacher has told her that keeping a diary is a good way to unclog your head â and Cherry certainly has a lot on her mind...
Cherryâs mother has just re-married, much to Cherryâs disgust. The worst thing about her step-father is his name: Roland Butter. Can you imagine?
Cherryâs best friend, Skinny Melon, is a sounding board for all Cherryâs angsts â Rolandâs allergies for one â who wants a wimpy step-father, all sniffly and red-eyed? All this and curried compost school dinners to contend with.
But when Roland starts sending Cherry coded messages, her curiosity is aroused. Will she ever learn to live with, and even like, Roland Butter?

Jean Ure was born in Surrey and wrote her first novel when she was six years old. She spent her teenage years writing and had her first book published when she was sixteen â an event that prompted her to leave school the following year to continue writing.
Jean lives in a three-hundred-year-old house in the centre of Croydon with her husband and their family of rescued dogs and cats.
