But things never turn out the way you think, and Steph and Sam soon discover there’s a lot more to being a family than they thought...

Pumpkin Pie
‘Pumpkin Pie has the heroine I've been waiting for.' Times
Shrinking Violet
Grown-ups love Bridget Jones’ diary, but youngsters will adore Violet Alexander’s.
Liverpool Echo
...the story is timeless, the descriptions of the girls and their relationship spot on and it does a great job of selling the empowering nature of language and story.

Guardian
The Secret Life of Sally Tomato
