Meet Luna Grace the girl from outer space! A delightful new series for young readers, about being yourself and dealing with your emotions.
Luna Grace and her family arrive on Earth at midnight. Luna is from Starbright, a colourful planet in another galaxy, and they have come to Earth to study its wonderful wildlife. The mission is simple - Luna and her family need to fit in with their new neighbours down on Earth. But fitting in is hard to do when your hair changes colour depending how you feel, you can move things with your mind and you have a mischievous moon cat called Twizzle!
Luna is determined to try her best, but as she embarks on her first day at school, things get cosmically out of control! What can Luna do to make herself like her new classmates? Or will she find the courage to be different?
An astronomical new series for young readers, filled with colourful illustrations, that will delight young fans of ISADORA MOON and HOTEL FLAMINGO!
As a child, Julie was always telling tales. Not the 'she ate all the cake not me' kind but wildly exaggerated tales of everyday events. Julie still loves telling stories and is now the bestselling author of more than 100 books for children of all ages and is published around the world. She lives in Cornwall with her family, two energetic sprollies and a white wolf - cunningly disguised as a dog. When she's not writing she likes eating cake, reading and walking, often at the same time.
