What to expect
Hello! My name is Edie Eckhart and I'm eleven years old. 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.
The Amazing Edie Eckhart (Book 1)
Edie Eckhart is Excited with a capital E to start secondary school with her best friend Oscar - the fish to her chips, the bananas to her custard. But when she and Oscar are put into different tutor groups on their first day, Edie is devastated. Who will play secret hangman with her in class? Who will she eat sausage rolls with?
But while she's plotting her reunion with Oscar, she accidentally gets cast as the lead in the school play. As Edie discovers a passion for performance, she also finds new friendships, talents, and dreams. After all, it's easy to shine on and off the stage when you're Amazing with a capital A.
The Amazing Edie Eckhart: The Big Trip (Book 2)
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?
'Fresh, funny and ultra cool' - Jacqueline Wilson
