The Blog of Maisy Malone

My name is Maisy Malone. I'm seventeen years old, live in a ratty council house with my 60 year old near-alcoholic Dad and a dog with a leaky bum.



This is my blog. You can either like it, or you can... well... blog off!! ;o)



Maisy is seventeen and has reason to be seriously fed up. Her Dad spends his days stagnating in his armchair, watching re-runs of Bargain Hunt, shouting abuse at their neurotic dog, Dave, or nursing his pint down at the Pride. Her mum fled the place years ago, on the back of a clapped-out old bike, and is now planning the wedding of the year, to a man so damp you could grow mushrooms on him.



And now Maisy has dropped out of sixth form in an attempt to bring some money into the family home. But will a range of eye-opening temporary assignments provide Maisy the freedom she is searching for? And what secret is her idiot older brother hiding?



Is she better going alone? Or is home really where the heart is?<\/P>"
