Description

Three of Jean Ures best-loved stories in a bumper 3-in-1 edition PASSION FLOWER, SHRINKING VIOLET and PUMPKIN PIE.
In PASSION FLOWER, Stephanie, a hip fourteen year old, and Samantha, her ten-year-old sister, are stuck in the middle of their parents arguments. When Dad suggests going on a summer holiday, they jump at the chance.

In SHRINKING VIOLET, twins Violet and Lily lead very different lives; Lily has friends and goes to parties and Violet stays at home, writing to her pen pal. But when Violet borrows bits of Lilys life to make herself sound more interesting, its bound to lead to trouble

In PUMPKIN PIE, Polly is stuck in the middle of a beautiful, fashion-conscious older sister and a high-achieving younger brother grabbing all the attention. Polly never wanted to turn food into her enemy, but when Dad starts calling her Plumpkin she doesnt have a choice
