Publisher's Synopsis
Dry your tears - Ally's World might be ending, but Stella Etc is just beginning| A brilliant new series from top combo Karen McC and Spike Gerrell, Stella Etc is a must for Ally's World fans who need their fix of Karen's humour and warmth, her spot-on depiction of pre-teen girls' lives and fresh, original voice but with a whole new cast of characters to get to know and love. Welcome to Ally's-World-on-Sea! Stella has just moved from London to a paint-peeling, past-its-sell-by-date, seaside resort town, which feels just around the corner from the back of beyond after Kentish Town. She comes to love it and its eccentricities and the characters she meet there - one new friend is added to the group in each book. This first bookeals with the move from town to seaside and the leaving behind of best friend, Frankie. Peaches is the new character, a big. ugl ginger cat, who turns out to be possibly the most important character of all! Karen is thinking of STELLA ETC as a 6-book series. A friend in need? Stella knows life in Portbay will be easier once she makes some friends. Trouble is, her new mate TJ only seems to want to be with her when there's no one else around! But why's he so keen to hag out with a bunch of scary, older lads who spend most of their time laughing at him?
