A hilarious story about girls, growing up, gossip and God. "I'd grown up being told that if I found myself tempted to behave in an unkind way, I just had to ask myself. 'What would Jesus do?' And then do that. Something hard pinged off the back of my seat and bounced down the aisle. So the question was, what would Jesus do if the Jameson sisters started chucking Jaffas at his head?" It is 1984 and fifteen-year-old Hester Jones is not having a good year. Her best friend has moved away and even though Natalie and Lynda are allowing her to hang out with them, Hester's struggling to keep up with her cool friends. Plus, she has the most embarrassing dad in the world, who's never, ever going to let her go to the birthday bash Natalie's planning. Worst of all, her Science teacher's making her work on a project about evolution with that weird Joshua Mason... When everything goes wrong and the world stops making sense, Hester has to decide: is it better to be a sheep, or a goat?
