Alicia's Great Day

An endearing, exciting adventure story for any pet lover.

Caring for her disabled mum is a huge part of 10-year-old Alicia's life. A capable girl at home, she finds herself lagging behind in school, and without a best friend: the one thing she truly wants.

When her mum needs an operation, Alicia finds herself having to cross the border from her home town in England, to stay with her eccentric Aunt Josie in the Welsh mountains. With a heavy heart Alicia and her aunt make the journey down to Wales. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Aunt Josie, with her passion for the colour red, and Welsh poetry, is unused to children and has a lot to learn - and neither punctuality, baking, nor getting up in the morning are top of her agenda. When, Mrs Buttercup, Alicia's new teacher, announces a series of competitions culminating in a Bring Your Pet to School Day, there is only one thing on Alicia's mind.

With plenty of high jinks, laughter, and jollity will Alicia finally find a best friend, and will Aunt Josie succeed in the race to find her niece a pet to borrow for the day?

Lots of surprises are in store, when the outcome of her mum's operation is revealed, and the family are thrown into coming up with a solution that will change all their lives forever. A heart-warming story of bravery, courage, and blooming friendships with a penchant of the strange and peculiar thrown in.

What will Aunt Josie teach Alicia - and more importantly - what will Alicia teach Aunt Josie?
