About the Author:
Review:
Jean Ure was born in Surrey and wrote her first novel when she was six years old. She spent her teenage years writing and had her first book published when she was sixteen.
Jean lives in a three-hundred-year-old house in the centre of Croydon with her husband and their family of rescued dogs and cats.
Shrinking Violet
Grown-ups love Bridget Jones’ diary, but youngsters will adore Violet Alexander’s.
Liverpool Echo
Excellent for any nine-up and will almost certainly lead to an addiction to Ure.
Observer
As an example of pre-adolescent confessional writing, this story is faithfully realistic.
Independent
Becky Bananas
‘The writing transcends any trace of heaviness.’
Guardian
Fruit and Nutcase
‘Jean Ure never puts a foot wrong.’
Daily Telegraph
The Secret Life of Sally Tomato
‘Rhymes, sauciness, letters, irony, comedy, comic characters... a proper little turn-on for boys. A must-buy book.’
