Book description
Meet the girlfriends! Polly, Keri, Frizz and Lily. They're the Gang of
Four, and they're going to stick together for ever and ever! When Polly
gets back from summer camp it seems that all her friends have grown up
and left her behind. Even Frizz is wearing a bra! And they keep inviting
boys to their parties. Are boys really OK? 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.
