Pretty funny | rebecca elliott

Does anyone ever really want to fall in love? Knowing me Ill just trip over it and graze my knee on the gravel of humiliation.

Haylah Swinton is fairly confident shes brilliant at being a girl.

Shes an ace best friend, a loving daughter, and an INCREDIBLY patient sister to her four-year-old total nutter of a brother, Noah.

But she has a secret.

She wants to be a stand-up comedian, but shes pretty sure girls like her - big girls, girls who dont get all the boys, girls who a lot of people dont see - dont belong on stage.

That hasnt stopped her dreaming though, and when the seemingly perfect opportunity to write routines for older, cooler, impossibly funny Leo arises .

well, whats a girl to do? But is Leo quite an interested in helping Haylah as he says he is?Will Haylah ever find the courage to step into the spotlight herself? And when oh when will people stop telling her shes funny for a girl?!.
