“This book is good for girls who have a sense of humour. There are lots of funny bits. I liked it when a donkey ate one of Indie’s bunches.”

“Gutted. That’s what I was when Ally’s World finished. Nothing could ever take their place – never! Till, urm, I started reading Stella Etc series! After reading ‘Frankie, Peaches & Me’ I want to wander round Joseph’s spooky house, hang out with Stella and have a Peaches of my own. I’ve even got Dad to convert the garden shed into my own den!”

“People on the bus to school must think I’m crazy – I’m always laughing out loud at your Ally’s World books. Except when I got to the end of the the series with ‘Hassles, Heart-pings! And Sad, Happy Endings’. It was so sad! And happy! And I was crying so much the man beside me on the bus looked scared!”
Alice Fishman (‘Fish’ to my friends)
“Every one of my Ally’s World books has been read so much that the pages have gone manky and the covers are starting to come off!! I love the chattiness (is that a real word?) of your books because other books are too serious and uptight. My fave book so far is ‘Boys, Brothers And Jelly-Belly Dancing’; specially the bit when Billy and his mates dance around in Billy’s mum’s underwear!”

“I’m half-way through ‘Meet The Real World, Rachel’. Every time I read your books the real world disappears and I end up in a totally different place. Your work is fabulous.”
