Synopsis

Mandy Small struggles with writing, so her teacher suggests recording her life story. Through her recordings, Mandy shares humorous and touching tales of her chaotic family life—her Elvis look-alike dad and her mum, whose cooking specialty is burnt toast. At school, she faces bullying from Tracey Bigg and worries about her timid friend, Oliver. With a nosy landlady and a critical nan, Mandy wonders if she's turning into a real 'Fruit and Nutcase'!
