Everybody Hates Abigail — Kathryn White

"I'm lucky. I'm so bloody lucky and full of good fortune that my bum shoots out rainbows, glitter and stars every time I fart. Look out, here she comes, lucky Abigail Vera Carter. Neglected by her mother, abandoned by her rich and famous father and shafted to live with her delusional aunt, criminal uncle and annoying male cousins in a disgusting small town that is suffering a major identity crisis ..." Abigail Carter may be daughter of a chart-topping rock star who is taking the world by storm, but that does not mean that her life is interesting in any way, shape or form. Or that anyone likes her. Insecure, intelligent and very offbeat, Abigail has a little trouble fitting in with the locals in Maripaninga Valley, South Australia's most boring small town (and home of the giant grapes.) When one of her classmates vanishes in mysterious circumstances, Abigail finds herself caught in the middle of a heartbreaking drama ... One part comedy, one part drama, Everybody Hates Abigail is the offbeat prequel to Being Abigail and is the first instalment of a new series. Meet Abigail Carter as a 1990s teenager, and prepare to be challenged with a story that most definitely does not follow the rules.
