Book description
One day, I, CORDELIA CODD, am going to be the greatest costume designer
in the history of cinema. I will live in exotic places, have fabulous
friends and spend my days relaxing at the spa. But for now I'm stuck in
the d...u...l...l...e...s...t village on planet Earth, with a best
friend a QUILLION-TRILLION miles away, not-quite-together parents, a
pretend boyfriend/supposed thief/real bully shield, and an epic war with
THE MOST UNFRIENDLY GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE. Whoever said "tomorrow is
another day" hasn't lived a day in my life... Claire is the
author of the Cordelia Codd stories. These follow Cordelia's comic and
touching misadventures as she struggles to deal with the difficult
issues faced by many pre-teen children. Claire is a former teacher who
has worked in the UK, USA and Colombia. Her favourite books at the
moment are Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo Krindlekrax by Philip
Ridley Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin Artichoke Hearts by Sita Brahmachari
Her favourite films are currently Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, 1951
Billy Elliot, 2000 The Belles of St. Trinian's, 1954 The Artist, 2011
Claire has been writing since Miss Fox, her year four teacher, sat her
in a corner for talking too much and told her to get on with some
handwriting. She realised that she was happiest sitting alone with a
pencil and her thoughts, but her own stories came much later.
