Book description
Miss Mallow has decided to put on a musical show to celebrate the
opening of the new school hall. Poppy and her class are all very
excited especially when they get to vote on which show to perform. But
things start to go wrong during the auditions when every single child
wants the two starring roles!
Before long Miss Mallow is at the end of her tether and cancels the
show . . .
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just
outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books
herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular
that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and
re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to
strength, including picture books, novels for young readers, activity
books and sumptuous gift books.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the
Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career that
she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The
Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of
children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys
visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like
doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in
Edinburgh with their three sons.
