Book description
Sara hates bad-luck Tuesdays! She writes a secret diary to lift the
jinx. Sara Swan's family has settled the problem of moving house (they
are NOT moving!). But now her father is going through a mid-life crisis
and leaves home on a Tuesday. And speaking of Tuesdays, Sara discovers
that Tuesdays are bad-luck days for her in more ways than one. So when
she hears a turn-your-life-around guru on TV say that you can change
things if you write about misfortunes and analyse them, she decides to
write a diary on Tuesdays, mainly about Tuesdays! Although she does
include snippets of other important stuff that happens during the week!
Great Aunt Grace (GAG) moves into town, causing problems as usual.
Sara's friends have their ups and downs, romances grow and wane, and all
the bad luck still happens on Tuesdays. Finally, towards the end of the
year, things begin to change for the better on Tuesdays, but... what
happens on Wednesdays? Margaret Clark is one of Australia's most
