you can get more responses if you change the title to "Question about Bar Mitzvahs in the UK" or something like that.

Very well done! I am really impressed with her writing ability, and will be following her -- and telling my kids who are into fanfic that they may wan to as well.
One small quibble about the scene where Yehuda is looking for a hechsher.
In the past, I think that in Britain, many or most packaged foods did not carry a printed hechsher, but there are lists available of which foods have certification. I think that is still the case.
American certified foods, which are imports, are often more expensive, and perhaps less likely to be bought first.
Tell your sister to google England kosher to learn more.
And I second the suggestion that you edit the title of this thread, OP. If you change it to something like, "question about what bar mitzvah is like in London", you may get a better response.

Just read the first few chapters — love it! I forwarded it to DS#1, bookmarked it, and will read more later.

I agree with this point, basically, but I will point out about three years ago I found crisps with a LBD hechsher in the London City airport. So if Yehuda was looking for a hechsher on a packaged item, that's probably what he'd be looking for, not OU, Star K or Kedassia.
