I thrust the photo at him. "You forgot this. I knew you'd want to have it, so I brought it with me-"
Dad looked down at the photo and almost shuddered, like it was a photo of a hideous tarantula, and not just me, Jules, shrieking with laughter with my hair blowing everywhere...
Jules is OK. Life is going on as usual. She's passing notes to her best friend, Marty, in boring lessons at school. Ignoring the repulsive Adrian Benton. And maybe things are looking up - she's about to audition for the main part in the play of Northern Lights.
But then her world explodes. Her perfectly lovely dad suddenly leaves home and doesn't want to talk to her any more. And strange photographers start leaping out from behind bushes and taking her photo. And everybody knows who she is....EXCEPT HER.
