Description
Janet is not like ordinary 12 year old girls. She's a girl with BIG ideas and ARTISTIC talent (in spite of her name). A complete one-off. Well, that's what she'd like you to think anyway. She sees her life ready to be lived NOW - an open book or a living masterpiece, in which she wields the PEN and PAINT! She has dreams of becoming an artist, or an author, perhaps even a future Queen! But, right now, she's just moved house, and is the new girl at school, facing the biggest challenge of her life. Enter Charlie, a BOY, and reluctant hero. Solid and dependable, he's used to WILD WOMEN in his life. This is their book, a life in BITS and PIECES, told from their varying perspectives, complete with doodles and pictures (including lip-blots, bite-marks, and graffiti from unwanted contributors!). A funny, wry, feel good story presented in an original and engaging way with scrapbook style illustrations throughout. (Typed by a couple of oldies who live in Brighton called Rebecca Stevens and Steve Jeanes, with help from art teacher, Clare Fletcher
