Marigold is the world's most tattooed Mum. She's also the world's most hopeless Mum, forgetting to buy food for her daughters Star and Dolphin and forgetting to pay the bills--still living in her 70s world of pop groups and make-believe. Marigold thinks that she's still in love with Micky, Star's father, so when she meets him again at a pop concert, she has high hopes. But Micky is more realistic and as Marigold's precarious world begins to crumble, only Star and little Dolphin can hold it together.

A new edition with new cover look and introduction.Dolphin adores her mother: she's got wonderful clothes, bright hair and vivid tattoos all over her body. She definitely lives a colourful life.
