it is difficult to handle such young teenage themes without being patronising or pompous, but Carey admirably avoids both temptations, resulting in a novel refreshing not just in its good-natured humour - there are some delightfully sly and mischievous one-liners - but also in its unsentimental endorsement of youthful dreams and aspirations
