Alice-Miranda In New York Coming Soon

Hello Friends,
I hope you're having a lovely holiday if you're off school at the moment. My best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey has been very busy helping me put the finishing touches to my latest story, Alice-Miranda In New York which will be released in Australia on 1 February 2012. I had such wonderful time in the Big Apple and I can't wait to share my adventures with you.
Best wishes,
Alice-Miranda xx
PS I will post a draft of the cover as soon as I can.

Visiting Camden South Primary School Fete

Hello Friends,


Next Saturday my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey is visiting her old Primary School, Camden South Public School to be a guest at their fete. She is hoping to meet lots of my friends and will be there from 11.30am to sign books. She is very excited to go back and see what the school looks like and maybe even catch up with some of her old friends too. All of my stories will be on sale. I've found an old school photo of Jacqueline from Year 4 which I've pasted below - I wonder if you can work out which one she is?


I hope you're having a great weekend. Jacqueline and I have been very busy working on a new story.


Best wishes,


Alice-Miranda xx

Alice-Miranda is in Indonesia



Hello Friends,

I am so excited that recently my first two adventures have been published in Indonesia. I've already made quite a few lovely friends from there and my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey is enjoying getting emails from new readers. Unfortunately my Bahasa is lacking and so I can't read these stories myself but from what the Indonesian readers have said they seem to be enjoying the books. The covers are gorgeous. I have posted copies of them here. I have lots of photos as girls dressed as Alice-Miranda for Book Week which I will post as soon as I make sure that the parents are fine with having their daughters' pictures up. I hope you have a great week.

Lots of love,

Alice-Miranda xx

PS I have some really big news to share soon - but I can't tell just yet!
