The Diary of Pelly D by L.J. Adlington

The Diary of Pelly D by L.J. Adlington
282 pages

Felt like I was missing a lot reading this book...like the fact that all of a sudden everyone had gills. Wouldn't they explain that fact? Reread so much of it. Guess I was just distracted?

(from jacket cover)
Toni V is a teenager working for the City Five demolition crew. While drilling through concrete he unearths a battered water can containing a parcel wrapped in faded brown paper. Though he's supposed to turn over anything he salvages, Toni V smuggles the package back to his room, unwraps it, and finds a notebook.
This is the diary of Pelly D. It's totally secret, so if you're reading it I hate you already.
Toni V figures there's no harm in paging through it since he doesn't even know this Pelly D.
I'm not being arrogant. That's just the way it is at school...I'm Pelly D. It's pretty simple...I RULE!
The more Toni V reads, the more he thinks Pelly D is rich, stupid, and petty. Yet he can't help starting to care for her, especially as her words slowly reveal the chilling state of the world.
I know it doesn't matter what gene tag you have-Mum's made that clear again and again like a stuck CD. It's just...How can I face everyone at school if...
What happened to Pelly D? Toni V needs to know. And he has one clue:
Dig-dig everywhere.
