Product description

Witty contemporary adventures for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and Frank Cottrell Boyce. Ordinary people do very extraordinary things in these quirky and touching novels, at once realistic and fantastical. With a warm sympathy for the misfit and the underdog, and a brilliant eye for the bizarre, Elen Caldecott makes the little things in life mysterious and meaningful, while creating characters who matter deeply to the reader. She brings to life a world in which old mysteries can be unravelled, family problems can be patched up and angry council officials tamed. How? By children who are driven to find their own solutions, helped by animals, vegetables and good friends.

“Funny… poignant… hilarious.” Julia Donaldson

“It will prompt the most enjoyable tears.” Sunday Times

“Warm, funny and bittersweet.” Teach Primary

Elen Caldecott

Elen Caldecott graduated with an MA in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University. At the end of the course she was highly commended in the PFD Prize for Most Promising Writer for Young People. Before becoming a writer, she was an archaeologist, a nurse, a theatre usher and a museum security guard. It was while working at the museum that Elen realised there is a way to steal anything if you think about it hard enough. Elen either had to become a master thief or create some characters to do it for her – and so her debut novel How Kirsty Jenkins Stole the Elephant was born.

Elen lives in Bristol with her husband, Simon.
