Roald Dahl and Quention Blake meets Tim Burton in sassy poet Laura Dockrill’s edgy and hilarious tale
You might have known somebody like Ugly Shy Girl once ...
You might have seen her bumping into lamp-posts and tripping over her bag.
She wears a denim skirt down to her ankles and a second-hand Naf Naf jacket.
Her hair hangs down in front of her face and her nails are bitten and sore.
She is always doing or saying completely the wrong thing.
This itwisted tale is about the struggle of growing up in a place where you don’t belong, surrounded by people you hate ...and how delicious getting your own back can be.

Review:
Synopsis:
‘Mistakes in the Background is an absolute treat ...it’s about pure, old-school imagination and art... and is both articulate and wildly creative. The passion that has created this work is evident in every sentence and illustration.’ Wears the Trousers Magazine
Laura Dockrill, spoken word artist and illustrator extraordinaire is bringing poetry to the masses and making it cool again. Matilda meets Where the Wild Things Are in this brilliantly original and deliciously dark tale of the Ugly Shy Girl. Now the thing about Ugly Shy Girl is that most of the rumours are true. She is hideously ugly, horrifically shy and only has one pair of shoes. Everybody on her road rides round her in circles on bicycles taunting her with tennis rackets, Because she wears an arm-lengthed v-neck, down to the ankle denim skirt and a second-hand Naf Naf jacket. Her hair hangs down in front of her face, her nails are bitten and sore, and a ripple of pimples hang like stars down the pock-marked side of her jaw. But what if one day she went into the woods and made some friends who understood. Would she be ugly any more?
