SUMMARY:I lost my mobile at the mall and am now facing certain death.
My mother will accuse me of being lazy, ungrateful and plain old stupid. The first death I suffer will be from an utter lack of natural justice. My father will sentence me to die by disappointment. His shoulders will sag and there will be a long escape of air from his chest, as if I've crept up behind him and pulled out his plug.
As if I deliberately lost my mobile phone to prove to him that there is no God. My best friend will kill me, all because there's a photo in my mobile of her standing next to Hugh Jackman. I am not an overly dramatic person, but a year's worth of numbers, texts and photos were in my phone, and if I don't get them back my life is not worth living.

MY REVIEW:This is one gorgeous book and one of the most original stories that I have read in recent times.It was an amazing book…often funny and very refreshing.I especially LOVED this book because this book dealt with a normal “teenager at the edge of technological breakdown”.I was just a wee bit tired of paranormal characters and meeting Elly Pickering was an absolute pleasure!Elly Pickering,the protagonist,is a bright and spunky character and I just adored her.It was hilarious the way she went on talking about fashion and I could relate to her being a bit of a fashionista myself!The title of the book is “I Lost My Mobile At The Mall” but here Elly not only loses her mobile but also her PC and author Wendy Harmer reminds us how it was like in the old days when our forefathers had to make do without mobiles and computers.Obviously Elly is absolutely handicapped without her phone and PC and I could totally relate to Elly on this front too. I absolutely adored the relationship that Elly had with her grandmother!It was so lovely and beautiful!
This is Wendy Harmer’s first book and this is the first work of her that I have read and I can’t wait to read more!Harmer has a funny,often witty voice,and she also adds a correct amount of sarcasm in her novel which makes it a sparkling tale of a teenager in distress.In short,I can’t wait to read more from her!I recommend this book to each and every teenager out there!Everyone of us will be able to relate to the protagonist!This book is simply addictive and I was hooked onto it from the very first page!Also,the cover of the book is so cute!So neat and simple and yet so cute!
MY RATING:10/5( I LOVED LOVED LOVED it!)
