After finding an abandoned baby, 13-yr-old Amy sets out to find the mother
Born in Chobham, by an airfield, and raised in Winchester on the
banks of the River Itchen, Fleur Hitchcock grew up as the youngest
child of three. When she was eight, she wrote a story about an
alien and a jelly. It was called THE ALIEN AND THE JELLY and filled
four exercise books. She grew up a little, went away to school near
Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years,
sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was
seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa
and graduated with a distinction. Now living outside Bath, between
parenting and writing, Fleur Hitchcock works with her husband, a
toy-maker, looks after other people's gardens and grows
vegetables.
Fleur's debut novel SHRUNK! was THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Book of the
Week', and you can follow her at: www.fleurhitchcock.wordpress.com

With wonderful complex characterisation, and true-to-life emotions,
this is a great story to provoke thought in your young tween or
teen
