School is a place where wearing the wrong shoes, having the wrong haircut or saying the wrong thing can result in being 'laughed out of existence.' Scarlett Sparkle introduces us to unlikely hero Anthony Nolan. Anthony’s parents and grandparents seem determined to ruin his street cred forever with their bogey coloured, hand knit jumpers and insistence he wears a cycle helmet. Anthony must run the gauntlet of Middle school in a bid to survive with his ‘rep’ intact. 'It's not fair' is aimed at children from about 8 years of age.
