A humorous and heart-warming story about a little sister, a big sister, a cat, a dad and a new girlfriend!
Bitsy, or 'Jelly Baby' as she's sometimes called, has been doing just fine living with Dad and big sister Em since Mum died. The housework may not always get done, and dinners might not always be at the table, but none of them ever minded!
Until one day Dad brings home a girlfriend and everything changes. Now it looks like it might be down to the Jelly Baby of the family to keep it from falling apart
Jean Ure's Jelly Baby is a standout in children's fiction, skillfully addressing social issues with humour and warmth. It's a top choice for kids and juvenile readers seeking stories that reflect their experiences.
For fans of Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus), Liz Pichon (Tom Gates 17), Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), and Jen Carney (The Day My Dog Got Famous).
