It's not Kitty's fault when she's late for school and Dad crashed into the gatepost! It's not Kitty's fault that baby Tom crawls into trouble or that she's getting too old to sit on Dad's knee! And it's certainly not Kitty's fault that her boring cousin Melissa can't make friends at school! But for some reason Kitty feels that it is.

William had got a new bike for his birthday, and Kitty wanted one more than anything in the world. 'I wish it was mine - oh, I wish it was mine,' she said to herself, over and over again. In this eighth great book about Kitty, she wishes that her friend's bike was hers, that her brother would go away, that she was pretty and grown up ... and, above all, that wishes come true!

Nothing could stop Kitty feeling miserable. So miserable, that when Mum went downstairs to make her some hot blackcurrant juice, Kitty turned to cuddle Mr. Tubs and made him all wet with her tears. 'Why me? Why me?' she sobbed. Kitty learns that things do go wrong for her, her family, and her friends, but that it's at times like these that what really matters is having each other and, for Kitty, still being able to make others laugh.

The only thing Kitty's friends want to do is to watch TV. Dad's busy and Mum has a new baby. What can Kitty do to stop everyone being so boring? Mooney takes this common childhood complaint and creates a touching, warm and insightful story from it.
