My Wonderful Disgrace

From a miscalculated romantic encounter to a disastrous text message that spreads too widely, Amy's carefully constructed night quickly unravels. Add an unfortunate incident involving an innocent goat and a series of betrayals from peers and teachers alike, and the perfect evening becomes a perfect storm. The mother-daughter writing duo tells the story at a lively pace, using a creative mix of diary entries, text messages, interviews and school newsletters to piece together the disastrous night. They capture the social pressure that teenagers face, from the desire to fit in to the challenge of staying true to themselves in the digital age. My Wonderful Disgrace is a must read for anyone aged 14 and over who has ever pinned their hopes on a single supposedly perfect night.
