About the book...

After a devastating row with her violent father, Janey is homeless. But when old Mrs Wicks invites her in and treats her faintness with several large glasses of vintage port, Janey remembers that Mike, her brother, is appearing with his band, Night Mission, at an important rock festival, and decides to go there to borrow some money.

She arrives at the hotel in the middle of a crazy press reception, but the next morning when she wakes up in Dave's hotel bedroom, she is horrified to find that she has caused a massive scandal, and set off a chain of events, which leaves Night Mission in crisis, just before they are due to appear at the biggest and most important concert of their careers. Can they deal with this disaster and survive?

This is the third book in the Janey series, which explores the themes of  friendship, responsibility, and growing up. The first two books are Janey and the Band, and Sing the Blues, Janey. Janey's story is continued in Fool's Gold and Easy Freedom.
