Skin Deep –launch at EGA on Thursday 15th September 2011
BIG ambitions, BIG problems, BIG bullies
The first book in the newly-launched Sugar and Spice series, this is pre-teen girly fiction at its best: well-written, thoughtful and great fun.
When 13-year-old Destiny enters the Bright Sparks beauty contest behind her (ex-model) mum’s back, she is determined to prove she has talent and brains – and that she is not just a pretty face.
Together with her cousin, Keisha and best friends, Ebyan and Bee, Destiny deals with every challenge life throws at her – including scary eyeball-to-eyeball confrontations with bully-girl Bella and secret winks from heart-throb, Joel. And then real disaster strikes...Ideal for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and Cathy Cassidy, this series will appeal to girls aged 9+.
Malaika Rose Stanley used to work as a teacher, but was forced to give up her job supporting children with special needs because of her treatment for cancer. In only two years as a full-time writer, she has four children’s books to her name and is Tamarind’s most prolific author. In 2010, The Independent listed Spike and Ali Enson as a Book of the Year and Miss Bubble’s Troubles was listed as a 2011 World Book Day Recommended Read.
The Skin Deep launch will take place in the EGA Hall at 2:00 pm on Thursday 15 September at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School. Copies will be available to purchase for £3.30
