It's not my fault ISBN: 9781405203852
Chamberlain, Margaret and Mooney, Bel
Published by Mammoth, 1999
One of a series of books of short stories about Kitty and her family. Although they focus on Kitty and her sometime denials that she has done anything wrong, they are redolent of life at home and at school, with cranky parents, friends who don't always cooperate, and relatives she can't always like. The last story in this book tells us about gran's death, and Kitty and her family's reaction to it. Occasionally simplistic in outcome, the stories are full of good detail about people interacting with each other. Other books in the series are: 'I don't want to!', 'I can't find it!', 'It's not fair!', 'But you promised!', 'Why not?','I know!',''I'm scared!', 'I wish!', 'Why me?', 'I'm bored!'.
