Julie Stenton

What is it about Effy (Kaya Scodelario)? The mystery girl has had a lot to deal with. The Stonem family home is in disarray, while Dad Jim (Harry Enfield) is working abroad, Mum Anthea (Morwenna Banks) is also away, with the fairies; and Tony (Nicholas Hoult) is moping after Michelle (April Pearson). On top of this, Effy has her GCSE art coursework deadline looming. So solving all her family’s problems, planning her academic future, as well as sorting out the ‘Tony and Michelle’, ‘Sid and Cassie’ dilemma is all she needs right now. And then on top of this, whilst also trying to maintain her reputation for being the wildest kid on the block, she’s lumbered with the new girl, spoddy Pandora. So how weird when suddenly Pandora turns out to be best friend material. Maybe the future’s bright afterall; Effy and Pandora’s future anyway.
