Description
A new contemporary series from Lisa Williamson about an ordinary class of kids with extraordinary stories - teamed up with the hilarious and award-winning illustrator, Jess Bradley. The first book follows Lola going from primary to secondary school with her best friend - when they're put into different classes, will their friendship survive?
Lola and Evie have been BFF since they were babies, just like peas in a pod - and even though they don't end up in the same class, Lola expects everything to stay the same. At home things are tough because Lola's parents are divorcing and they're having to move the family home. So when the annoying C leo becomes friendly with Evie, stealing her from Lola, three most definitely becomes a crowd - Lola must learn that not all change is bad...
A Note From the Publisher
Jess Bradley is the illustrator of the Blue Peter Award-winning THE DAY IN A LIFE OF A POO, A GNU AND YOU, and is a regular contributor to the Phoenix comic.
Perfect for Key Stage 2 and Year 7s going to a new school. It's the first in a series following the same class of Year 7s and the second book will be out in April 2024, DOUBLE DRAMA, telling Lola's nemesis Daniel's story - a boy with lots of pressure at home but a burning desire to be the lead in the school play.
