exterminator’.”

He was just joking. Who would want to

write about their older sister?

Clara Lark, my sister was nearly thirteen

– that was two years older than Jake and

me. Clara was one of those older sisters

who thought she was better than you. The

school, good at keeping her room tidy,

good at talking to boring relatives and even

good at being quiet. What she was really

brilliant at, though, was annoying me.

Then there was the dancing. Clara was

going to be a dancer. And – you’ve

guessed it – she was good at that too!
