About the author
Jamiee Morgan
7 books8 followersJamiee Morgan was born in 1973 and lives in a seaside town in Sussex, England.
She shares her home with three of her four children, and Millie, her mental Jack-a-Poo dog, who will do almost anything anything for a piece of bacon.
Jamiee had longed to write a book since she was a child, although never had the courage to do it until she reached forty, noticed a smattering of grey hair (which she quickly covered with ‘Nice & Easy No 78’), and figured if she didn’t do it now it was never going to happen.
So ‘The Game of Love’ was born, followed by ‘Stars in her Eyes’, ‘The Great Escape’, and her first children’s book ‘Gwendoline Solves A Problem’.
Jamiee’s latest book ‘The Untimely Demise of Leo Sunderland’ will be available on Amazon in July and is the first book in a new series about the lives, no, deaths of people in Half-Way Point.
When she is not writing short stories, she can be found inspiring women to create a life of their dreams on her blog: A, Life Unwritten, caring for her children, walking the dog, washing up, daydreaming about a life of travel to exotic places, and trying to figure out how to keep a minimalist home with three very messy kids.

A very good beginning book to a children's book series. It was a fast (in less than an hour for 59 pages), easy read with a character facing the challenging problem of moving, whether she will even like her new home and room, starting at a new school middle of year, making new friends/enemies, and having some unexpected amazing discoveries (fairies) + adventures.
The book does do a good bit of set up of the character and surroundings before almost last minute getting to the problem and solution mentioned by the title of the book. By the end of the book I was wanting to read more to see how the future things mentioned would go (spoiler alert: left us wanting more after the fairy invitation and to see how even the second day of school would go).
I did think the character made a very quick judgement call on whether the "mean girl" Della was really mean, seemed like she was rude especially to Gwennie's new friend Amelia and later to Gwendoline...though Gwendoline seemed equally as rude back without ever the thought that maybe Della just was trying to make a friend the wrong way (would be nice if in any future volumes Gwendoline would see that she didn't make it easy to be befriended by anyone else besides Amelia on that first day, and that Della would quit trying to be rude in trying to make friends...then much later maybe they could all become friends...maybe even have adventures together that pull them all close together).
The very cute cover illustration artwork is continued inside the book (in just black and white coloring book way), full page sized pictures before every new chapter. Nice larger print and spacing will make it easy for younger kids to read this book/series. In all a great book for both the quality of the book and the quality of the story. I'm reviewing this as a goodreads giveaway book winner.
