Plot
Tallulah Casey, a lanky girl worried about her knees and underdeveloped cleavage, is off to stay at a drama performance workshop centre in Yorkshire called Dother Hall. There she meets the Tree Sisters (Flossie, Vaisey, Honey and Jo). Together they all go through boys, snogging and bad acting. Will Tallulah stay for another term? Will she get the boy of her dreams? And will it be Alex, the older brother of her friend Ruby, Charlie, the perfect guy who loves her knobbly knees, despite the fact he has a girlfriend, or evil Cain, lead singer of the local band, who doesn't seem to realise that Tallulah's nose is not an ice cream?
