Love & the Greenhouse Effect - UK Edition

Published by Pan Macmillan in the UK and South Africa, 1993.

My family are a disaster area. We have a lot of fun but sometimes I wish we were a bit more normal and boring. The problem is, we all have too many ideas. Different ideas. Everyone of us is into our own thing, so we all run around getting in each other’s way, instead of getting together and helping each other. What I mean is they should get together and help me. Because my ideas are the most important.
