Author Description

Lilian is scared to walk home from school because the BOYS are nearly always waiting outside the school gate. They call her nasty names and chase her with sticks. But one day something happens, and life is never the same again... Lilian meets someone who can help her stand up to the BOYS. This delightful story will appeal to lovers of fantasy and heroic adventure - though it's based in the real world of a third-grader. Every little girl who has ever been bullied or has had to face something scary - and that happens to just about all of us, doesn't it? - will be inspired by Lilian's story. And perhaps it will help her find the courage for herself, next time she is confronted by something fearsome.
