It’s summer, school is out and you’re looking forward to hanging out and doing your own thing – it’s going to be perfect! Well, it would be until you discover you have to go on the holiday from hell.
Becky has to go on holiday with her Dad, his new girlfriend, and her daughter Tasmin, who’s only interested in music, clothes and boys! Becky on the other hand only cares about saving the planet, endangered species and changing the world!
In a cramped caravan, travelling from London to the Norfolk Broads, Becky and Tasmin need to come to terms with the fact that one day they might be sisters. A journey full of surprises and before the holiday was out both girls recognised that although they had different tastes in clothes, scratch beneath the surface and they had much in common.
