★《怪咖少女事件簿》的書迷必讀之作
★本系列將於2027/03出版第二集

This is the first book in a brand-new illustrated series filled with LOLs, BFFs, drama and crushes and lots of overthinking!

Are you a chronic overthinker? Do you worry about your eyebrows not matching on a daily basis? Or are you simply a tween on the verge of becoming a teenager?

Birdie is an overthinker, and it's the absolute worst. Every single day a small worry becomes a medium worry and then explodes into a GIGANTIC WORRY. And she's got lots of worries to deal with. Like her best friend Chloe making new friends and the awkward crush the boy in her class seems to have on her.

So Birdie's created a Happy List and she's ready to tackle all the emotional challenges of being a tween. Because if she drinks more water, says daily affirmations and looks after houseplants, she's sure she'll definitely be happy.

Then Chloe starts ditching Birdie to hang out with her new friends, and Birdie just feels more unhappy than ever. But with the help of her blended family and some new friends of her own, Birdie learns what happiness and friendship really is. And drinks plenty of water along the way.

This series is hugely relatable for tweens growing up today, featuring issues of mental health, navigating new family set ups, starting secondary school and dealing with friendship dramas.
