The Amazing Edie Eckhart: The Big Trip: (Book 2) World Book Day 2024 Author

’Fresh, funny and ultra cool’ - Jacqueline Wilson

From TV comedian Rosie Jones comes a sparky and HILARIOUS series for readers aged 9+. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and DORK DIARIES.

Hi! I’m Edie Eckhart. I’m a little bit different. I have a disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It’s never really bothered me because I’ve never known anything else.

This term, Edie Eckhart has A LOT on her mind:

’Why am I the only one who doesn’t know what to be when I grow up? Why am I the only one worried about going on the school drama trip? And why am I the only one who thinks eating 21 Brussels sprouts at once is YUMMY?’

Life’s confusing questions are making Edie wonder if she REALLY knows who she REALLY is. Will Edie realise it’s OK not to have ALL the answers ALL of the time ... and just BE EDIE?
