This series should be read in order.

Abbie's life feels like one big rain cloud since her parents split up. Now she lives with her mum and sisters in a grotty flat, in a whole new part of the country. Only new friends, Ben, Summer, and gorgeous, guitar-playing Marco, offer her a silver lining.

A heart-warming series about a family who sets up a homemade cosmetics business against all the odds, amidst plenty of dramas, highs and lows. A perfectly pitched bridge between junior and young adult fiction, especially for 'tween' girls with an interest in beauty and fashion.
