Description

A charming family comedy for readers of 8+, with a dash of magic, and the occasional moment of mayhem! These are the third memoirs Holly Hopkinson, aged ten - except without any of the rubbish adults usually put in, thank you very much. Welcome to volume III of my memoirs - with me, Holly Hopkinson, still in the middle of flipping nowhere, and still on the brink of MULTIPLE CATASTROPHES, like my parents announcing that we might be moving STATESIDE. Good thing my sister is still into organising protests, thank you very much. PLUS Mum is about to lose what little money we have left on a vegetable shop, there's been a biscuit-fight fiasco in the village and a family secret I uncovered means my suitcase is packed, my goodbyes are prepared - life is cruel at ten. But fear not because with the help of my Magic Pocket Watch I might get an ACTUAL FACTUAL ROCK STAR to play with my brother's band! Oh yes. The middle of nowhere, AKA Lower Goring, could be about to hit the news headlines again . . .

Author Biography

Charlie Brooks left Eton to become a stable lad for racing legend Fred Winter. After riding in the Grand National, and winning the Cheltenham Festival as an amateur jockey, he became the youngest racehorse trainer in England. He has broadcast for Radio Five and Bloomberg TV and hosted his own sports programme, 'The Charlie Brooks Show'. He is a columnist for the Daily Telegraph and lives on his farm in the Cotswolds. His autobiography, Crossing the Line, was widely acclaimed. Katy Riddell grew up in Brighton and was obsessed with drawing from a young age. Plenty of encouragement from her parents, both artists and illustrators, led her to spend hours writing and illustrating her own stories, which her father (award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell) collected throughout the years. Originally drawn to fine art, Katy rediscovered her love for illustrating children's books in her university gap year and decided to pursue it as a career. She loves working with children, and currently runs an art club at her local school. Katy lives and works in Manchester.
