The Raspberry Rules - Karen McCombie

Thirteen-year-old Rowan Love is confused. Everybody keeps telling her she's annoying, teachers think she's crazy and disorganised, her older sister REALLY irritates her and her best friend thinks she's a freak! So when Rowan decides to buy a notebook and make a list of rules for life, the 'Raspberry Rules' are born. Most of the rules are a bit crazy ('I will not put raspberries in soup?!') but overall this is a brilliant read.

These are- Thunderclan (Fierce and brave), Windclan (Swift and loyal), Riverclan (Sleek and strong) and Shadowclan (Wily and proud). This is a fantastic series, our personal favourites are 'A Dangerous Path' and 'The Darkest Hour'.
