Well, lots of secrets, actually:• She has a brother called Fred who is the Best Invention Ever, and a baby sister called Flo who is her arch-nemesis. Huberman’s narrator Frankie is lots of fun to spend time with, she’s smart and kind and full of hilarious observations about the weird obsessions of grown-ups. The illustrations by Katie Kear really bring Frankie’s worlds, both real and imaginary, vividly to life. Thoughtopolis, the imaginary world in Frankie’s brain, is initially a delightful escape from her real world worries, full of wonderful creatures and lots of groan-inducing puns but eventually the real world encroaches upon Frankie’s fantasy sanctuary and she must confront what is going on in her life.
