Always expect something cleverly and uniquely written by Anne Fine.

This one's about a young boy whose sister is a total punk and a brat!

I can barely remember this book, it was so long ago that I read it. But I do remember this, I kept on wondering if it was British family, it's not about the Irish woman-bearer of death, and it's terrifically funny and well-written. Anne Fine portrays Estelle as your average girl-turned-banshee (usually a girl turned teenager. . .). Will's story is great, and especially the end. Is there a hidden message in there Ms. Fine? I will now tear apart the entire basement looking for my copy, to reread it.
