I have read Life with Lisa and it's all she says it is and more. It's a brilliant little book. I recalled it from way back - a few years after it cane out, because I was 12 - and it really was very unusual in being about an urban girl who went to a secondary school and had been written off as not bright for nto passing an exam at a particular time. Oddly, I'd been wondering who wrote it jsut before that article was published. I'd forgotten the author's name but the cover pic was instantly familiar.
