Luckily, the principal, umm, make that 'un-principal' gifts her the special talent she requests - the ability to do handstands. But Pattie has to keep it a secret.

Jessica Roberts writes, draws and films stories. She has a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design, and a Foundation Diploma in film studies. Originally from Kyneton, Victoria, Jessica grew up surrounded by an odd collection of pets including dogs, quails, chickens, sheep, goats, rabbits and a donkey. Her stories often involve animals and she uses her childhood memories of growing up in the country as a bank of ideas for storytelling. A trip to Egypt in 2009 inspired the idea for Bab Sharkey and the Animal Mummies: The Weird Beard released in 2018 by Walker Books Australia.
