Jacqueline Wilson calls Jean's books "Funny, funky, feisty - and fantastic reads" and Pumpkin Pie is no exception, especially now it's sporting a gorgeous new cover look!

Who wants to be one of three? And who wants to be the middle one of three? Polly is stuck in the middle, with a beautiful, fashion-conscious older sister and a high-achieving younger brother grabbing all the attention. Polly wants to be the one to get noticed, the one to become a famous actress, the one who is thin. But when Polly decides to take drastic action to shed pounds, she loses more than just weight.
