Author(s): Sophie Kinsella

Fiction

They're having one last family party. But Effie hasn't been invited . . . Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago and now, to add insult to injury, her dad has a new girlfriend and she's forced to look at Instagram photos with captions like #neverbeenhappier and #sexinyoursixties. They're planning to sell the beloved family home and, before they do, they're having a 'house-cooling' party. But Effie's been sent a muted 'anti-invitation', so she won't go - she can't. Then she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney. So she decides to attend but not as a guest. She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and leave. No one will know she was there. Nothing goes to plan. Not only does Effie bump into her ex-boyfriend - who she's very much not over - she can't find the dolls. What she finds instead is a cryptic fragment of an email - someone in her family is facing 'calamity'. And she can't leave until she finds out who. ***** EVERYBODY LOVES SOPHIE KINSELLA- ***** 'Left me giddy with laughter.
