Vonnie is a carefree and healthy girl, in her last year of primary school, who has an “okay” big sister and a “super” best friend.
Sure, there are some things not so great: that Mum always complains about dinner, that the teacher always blames the whole class for what only the bullies do, and she hates Thursdays, because it’s PE. On the upside, she has learned to ignore Mum’s daily moans, manages to get out of PE whenever she can, and the bullies never pick on her.
Then two things happen: Mum is fed up with her family being fussy and decides to make only soup and bread for dinner every day, and a new boy comes to her class, a boy who has no intention of leaving her alone.
Now Vonnie finds herself turning into an angry teen, trying to find her voice in a world that seems to think kids should be nice and always agree with the opinion of adults.
While things at home and school get worse, she meets other children, each with serious health problems, and soon begins to realize that, not only does she have a “lucky body”, but she doesn’t need to be a bystander; that it isn’t right to let others get bullied for who they are – that she can stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
