Her polar-opposite parents' recent divorce has resulted in 12-year-old Annabella having a split personality. She is called Anna at her Mum's, Bella at her Dad's. She's arty and casual at her Mum's, glamorous and cool at her Dad's; she's co-operative at her Mum's, stroppy at her Dad's; vegetarian at her Mum's and a rabid carnivore at her Dad's. But Annabella is walking a tough tightrope. She manages to overcome minor glitches, like leaving her sandals in the wrong house, swinging two birthday parties and entering a talent show twice, but then she meets Jimmy. You can juggle parents, friends, teachers and trainers, but can you juggle boys? It's only when Annabella finds out the truth about Jimmy that she finally learns the truth about herself.
