Synopsis

Bím Blake has just started Year Seven and finds it more challenging than expected. Her school skirt is too long, her pencil case uncool, and the new boy—son of popstar parents—is distractingly cute. At home, her dad's odd behaviour, including making TikToks and cooking experiments, adds to the chaos. With three annoying older brothers, feuding aunts, and friendship mishaps, Bím navigates the ups and downs of adolescence with humour and heart.
