The Awkward Autumn of Lily McLean
£6.99
Also available as: eBook
- I get lost. (Let's be honest, there's like a 99.9% chance this WILL happen.)
- The teachers think I'm a troublemaker like my big sis Jenna.
- Someone finds out about the psychic thing. (Who wants to be friends with a girl who hears voices?)
Things that ARE going wrong at high school:
- Jenna's waste-of-space boyfriend is getting her into serious trouble.
- Someone is telling lies about my best friend. (She isn't really fed up with me, is she?)
- The creepy psychic stuff might be the only way to help Jenna.

'Believable, authentic characters in a story that never lags. Very likable!'

'The beautifully written, laugh-out-loud sequel to 'Mixed-Up Summer of Lily McLean', author Lindsay Littleson has once again written a consistently entertaining and enjoyable read.'
-- Midwest Book Review
'...a refreshing sharing of credible family life and of starting secondary school ... This book is entertaining, reassuring and an altogether comforting teenage read with a lovely bright cover.'
-- Carousel
'...just as good as the first book, with lots of laugh out loud moments and a fun read with twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. Starting high school is a tricky time, and there's lots for young readers to identify with here, not least friend dramas.'
