For the last two years, Christy Ung has been in the same class as the loud-mouthed Christie Owens–and now it's 3rd time unlucky in 6C. Christie Owens is the popular one so everybody calls Christy Ung, the Other Christy. She moved from Cambodia in Year 4 and is still a loner at school. Christy's one solace is baking with her Auntie who suggests they bake a cake for Christy to share with her class on her birthday. Maybe a sweet treat can win them over and Christy might find a friend. She just didn't expect it to be Christie. When Christie is ditched by her besties, the two girls who share a name strike an unlikely friendship. Christy lets down her guard, revealing secrets about her weird upbringing with her clean-obsessed Grandpa. But Christy soon realises that she and her new friend are worlds apart. Can she ever shake off her Grandpa's strange habits? And will the two girls ever have more in common than just their name?

Amazing stuff you never knew you needed!

From the same brains that brought you The Encyclopedia of Immaturity comes The Klutz Book of Inventions, a 200-page catalogue of never-before-seen contraptions that are equal parts brilliant, useful and ridiculous. None of them exists as an actual product, but in a funnier world, they would all be household essentials.

This compendium was created over by an all-star team from Klutz and IDEO — the world's foremost product design firm. Each of the inventions was actually built in the legendary IDEO workshop before being photographed (usually in action) and described on its own page.

Inventions include:

• A tricycle-lawnmower combo (puts wasted play energy to work)
• Training wheels for high heels
• Scratch-n-sniff menus
• Mood collars for pets

and so much more.

Isn't it time you upgraded your wish list?
