What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This book is charming, educational, and makes you want to shout against the hair-removal industry and love your body hair!“—BUST Magazine

Gemma Cary
Gemma Cary grew up in Somerset, England, and earned her degree in English at the University of Exeter. She landed her first job in children’s publishing in 2005 and despite deriving a fair amount of joy from being a professional spellchecker (among other things), Gemma soon realized she’d rather write the words herself. After penning a load of picture books that you probably haven’t heard of, Gemma decided to have a go at writing for teens. This book is the result.
