Book description
Meet Polly, Keri, Frizz and Lily - they're the Gang of Four, and
they're determined to be best friends for ever! Their bond of friendship
is severely tested, though, when they discover that they are all going
off to different schools in the autumn. And poor Frizz is going to be
left with their arch enemy, Jessamy James, a show-off who wears pink
knickers, which they all know isn't cool! A lively and humorous story
perfect for top junior girls facing the momentous change to secondary
school. Jean Ure was born in Surrey, where she still lives today. She
started writing at an early age, filling up exercise books with stories
inspired by whatever she was reading at the time! Her first novel, Dance
For Two, was published when Jean was only fifteen. "I thought that
from then on it would be easy", she says. "How wrong...!"
During the next few years Jean took a variety of jobs to support herself
whilst she carried on writing, including cook, temp, trainee nurse and
usherette. After two years working in Paris with NATO and UNESCO she
enrolled at the Webber-Douglas Academy of Drama where she met her
husband, the actor Leonard Gregory. Jean Ure's career finally took off
in the 1980's, with a series of popular novels for teenagers. She has
written numerous books for a wide range of ages, making her one of the
top-selling children's authors of our time. Jean lives in a 300 year old
house in Croydon with her husband, and their rescued animals.
