Omschrijving
Edie was born to a family of troublemakers. When her activist parents leave Paris to protest around the globe, her grandmother decides it's time she became a proper young lady and so sends her to the School of the Good Sisters.
Praise for How to Be Brave
This twisty tale is truly marvellous
Ridiculously loveable book alert... hilarious and completely endearing
How to be Brave is wonderful. It's a brilliantly funny and heartfelt middle-grade adventure that had me cheering, smiling, crying and craving a slice of victoria sponge. Think bake-off-meets-boarding-school with nuns and ducks. I loved it
'Utterly perfect. heartfelt, hilarious and so extremely comforting, I would very much like to live in the world you create'
Quirky and joyful, this is also a tale of terrible loss, a sadness that is lifted, and two women's love for each other. Just the thing if you're holidaying in France.
Much like a delicious Victoria sponge (you'll get the reference when you read the book!), I savoured every mouthful, ahem, I mean page. It was funny, it was heartfelt, it was poignant, it was delightfully descriptive. A five star read from me.
Daisy May Johnson is a writer, librarian and blogger. She writes about children's literature at Did You Ever Stop To Think, tweets as @chaletfan, and when she's not doing any of that, you'll find her curled up with her favourite school stories, or baking the world's best chocolate brownies. Her first novel, How to be Brave, is also published by Pushkin.
