Its Bellas first day at her new school and, lucky for her, shes already got a best friend who will be in the same class Magda! Bella is determined to make a good impression, but with Magda around, things dont always go according to plan. By the time she arrives, shes already drenched in yoghurt and marmalade, and things are about to get much, much worse. With laugh-out-loud funny writing by Chris Higgins with delightful illustrations by the award-winning Emily MacKenzie, this series is perfect for fans of Kes Grays Daisy books and the classic My Naughty Little Sister.
Chris Higgins started her author career writing for teenagers and young adults. She has won a number of awards including Young Minds, the Lancashire Book Award, the Lincolnshire Young Peoples Book Award, the KYBA, and she has been shortlisted twice for Queen of Teen. Her My Funny Family series was published with great success with the first book being selected for BookTrusts Bookbuzz scheme. Chris has four daughters and is rapidly acquiring a whole bunch of grandchildren even though she feels far too young to be a granny. She has travelled the world extensively and now lives in West Cornwall with her husband. Emily MacKenzie is an acclaimed illustrator and graphic designer who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art. Working mainly with ink, digital collage and screen print, Emilys illustrative work draws from childhood memories, an inquisitive nature and a vivid imagination. Her picture book Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar was nominated for the Scottish BookTrust Childrens Book Award, and the follow-up, Stanley the Amazing Knitting Cat, won the 2016 IBW Book Award in the Childrens Picture Book category. Emily lives in Edinburgh.
