My Perfect Cousin

Cousins Yasmin and Ruby have always been rivals, but both sides of the story are exposed in this cleverly composed clean-teen novella from Karen McCombie. Ruby can't stand her "perfect" cousin Yasmin. Yasmin is pretty, popular and has a gorgeous boyfriend Max. She's set to get excellent grades in her GCSEs and her parents won't stop going on about how brilliant she is. Ruby always feel small and hopeless around Yasmin, and whenever she gets any attention, Yasmin tries to make sure the spotlight turns back to her. Or that's how Ruby feels anyway. But is there another side to the story? Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 7.
