About the author

Jenny Valentine moved house every two years when she was growing up. She has just moved house again, probably not for the last time. She worked in a wholefood shop in Primrose Hill for fifteen years where she met many extraordinary people and sold more organic loaves than there are words in her first novel. She has also worked as a teaching assistant and a jewellery maker. She studied English Literature at Goldsmiths College, which almost put her off reading but not quite.
Jenny is married to a singer/songwriter and has two children.

In 2007, Jenny won the Guardian Prize for Children's Fiction with her debut novel FINDING VIOLET PARK.

Reviews

[Jochen · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5* - Prima kortverhaal voor jongeren, zeker om alle verhaalelementen nog een keertje te herhalen. Soms hoeft het niet meer te zijn dan dat.

[Louise Rehme · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a good book if you've forgotten one to tread in class

[Stefanie De Deyne · Rating 3 out of 5]

The ending was kinda funny but the book itself wasn't anything special..
