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! But, why
then does Keri keep inviting her new school friend, Jemima, to their
special Saturday 'Gang of Four' meetings? And why is Frizz behaving so
strangely? Polly can't help wondering what her friend isn't telling her.
Can the girlfriends make everything groovy again? A lively, 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.
