Book description
The second fantastic book about ten-year-old FRANKIE FOSTER - the girl
who wants to help, but ends up causing chaos!
Frankie Foster loves fixing people's problems. Her help might not
always be welcome - and she might cause the odd total disaster - but
Frankie always fixes things. Eventually!
When Frankie's mum agrees to have a friend's daughter to stay for a
fortnight, it falls on Frankie's shoulders to look after Amelia. Having
another girl share her broom cupboard of a bedroom is one thing, but
wherever Amelia goes, trouble seems to follow, however hard Frankie
tries to keep her out of it!
Frankie certainly gets more than she bargains for with Amelia, but in
typical Frankie fashion, she soon realises how being different is no bad
thing and learns some important lessons along the way… like the true
meaning of friendship and how to keep life 'sweet'! Here's just a
sample of what children are saying about Frankie Foster:
"Amazing! Full of shocks and surprises on every page!"
Beth, age 9
"Fizzy Pop was so exciting, I couldn't put it down!"
Emily, age 11
"Frankie Foster steps out of the pages of this spell-binding book
and comes to life."
Imogen, age 12
