My Best Friend and Other Enemies

English

By (author): Catherine Wilkins Katie Abey

Illustrated by: Katie Abey, Sarah Horne

The first book in the hilarious Jess Jackson series from much-loved author and comedian Catherine Wilkins, with a new cover illustrated by Katie Abey - perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks!


JESS and NAT are best friends. They've had some of the most HILARIOUS times ever and nothing can change that, not even the arrival of NEW GIRL, Amelia. Except it changes EVERYTHING.

Amelia is MEAN, and soon she and Natalie behave as if Jess doesn't exist. But Jess has a plan, and a SECRET WEAPON - her HB pencil...

A funny, relatable story that will touch a nerve with everyone who reads it as Jess Jackson takes on the mean girl at school, using only her pencil and her sense of humour, and makes all new friends along the way.


Look out for these the laugh-out-loud funny books by Catherine Wilkins:


  • Café Chaos: My Family Is Not a Piece of Cake

  • You're Not the Boss of Me! (WINNER Lollies 2024, Teen)

  • My Brilliant Life and Other Disasters: A Jess Jackson Book
  • And more hysterical jokes and high jinks to come in the re-issued Jess Jackson books!


"I loved this book. It's brilliantly funny and painfully true" - Jenny Colgan
