Book description
Bindy Mackenzie is the smartest - and kindest - girl at Ashbury
High. She likes to share her knowledge and offers lunchtime advisory
sessions in a relaxed setting (the locker room). But when Bindy
discovers that, despite all her hard work, nobody likes her,
benevolent Bindy is banished - ruthless Bindy is about to be
unleashed.
Bindy records every moment of her new rebellious life in a project
- from The Philosophical Musings of B. Mackenzie to extracts from her
essays. But her scrapbook is also the key to a bizarre mystery - with
Bindy herself at the centre. Only her friends can help her now. If
only she had some.
BECOMING BINDY MACKENZIE is the astonishingly original sequel to
FEELING SORRY FOR CELIA and FINDING CASSIE CRAZY. As ever, Jaclyn's
writing is funny and scary, happy and sad and always fabulously
feel-good in the end!
A few of the many rave reviews for her previous Macmillan novels:
'I absolutely loved it. I wish I had written it' Marian Keyes
'Funny . . . moving . . . compulsive' The 50 Best Books for
Children, Independent
'Funny, strange and improbably true' Book of the Month, J17
'A good-natured who-dunnit. A pacey, tightly woven book' TES
Jaclyn Moriarty grew up in Sydney, Australia, and studied
Law and English on three continents - at Sydney University in
Australia, Yale in the US and Cambridge in England. She spent four
years working as a media and entertainment lawyer but now writes
full-time so she can go to work in her pyjamas. Jaclyn and her
Canadian partner divide their time between Sydney and Montreal,
depending where the summer is.
Jaclyn's first novel for young adults, FEELING SORRY FOR CELIA, was
an instant best-seller in Australia, America and the UK. She followed
this up with the equally fantastic FINDING CASSIE CRAZY. Jaclyn also
writes for adults.
