Praise for Bad Hair Days
Bad Hair Days not only gives the reader an insight into how it would feel to deal with the emotional impact of hair loss, but it is a story about the importance of family and friendship all tied up in a great mystery story. It is a perfect read for teens. Stressy Mummy Blogger
'Bad Hair Days is a wonderful read but more than that its inspiring. Its main character, 14 year old Mallow, a revelation to all those who feel as if they don't fit in, that they too are different.' Pettywitter Blogspot
'Forster handles a potentially tricky real-life issue with sensitivity and explores in depth the emotional impact hair loss might have on a teenager. Many important issues are touched upon, including bullying, friendship and self-esteem, which are all wrapped up in the mystery of who’s behind the texts, which keeps the pages turning… Overall, an exciting mystery with a difference for older primary-aged children.' Primary Times
INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q: How did you decide to write for 10-14 year olds?A: When I was about 11-14 years old I loved reading action & adventure stories and mysteries. Being totally involved in the story and trying to figure out what was going to happen next was great fun, and for me this was the age when I first became really aware of how fantastic it was to read a well-written, gripping story. I wanted to recreate that feeling in my first book, SHADOW JUMPER - to be action-filled and a page-turner but to also tackle contemporary themes and issues. I hope I've also achieved that in BAD HAIR DAYS, although it's a book about emotions and growing up too.
Q: Why did you decide to write about hair loss?I don't have personal experience of this distressing condition, but I am drawn to writing about people who are different and I wanted to explore how they cope with the challenges, particularly relationships with family and friends, and bullying. I wanted to convey how difficult it must be to be a teenager living with hair loss, but also how strong friendships and family can really help.
Q. Is this book for boys or girls?Both! The issues in the book effect both boys and girls. If you love a mystery adventures, then Bad Hairs Days could be the right book for you, your child or grandchild. And I'd love to know what you think of it, so do leave a review on here if you liked it.
