The Bed and Breakfast Star

Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots!

I'm Elsa, and that's one of my jokes (I tell LOTS of jokes and I'm going to be a big star one day). I do my best to cheer my family up - but no one seems to laugh much any more. Not since we lost our lovely house and had to move into a bed and breakfast hotel . . .

Reviews

  • "Funny and very moving"

    Josie Lawrence, Daily Express

  • "An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief"

    Independent on Sunday

  • "The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues"

    Daily Telegraph

  • "This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story"

    Scribbler
