I've been busy this month.
Alice in the Middle, the fourth book in the Alice series came out last week.
It's aimed at children aged 9 - 13
Alice in the Middle
by Judi Curtin
A best friend is forever, isn’t she?
Megan can’t wait to go away to Summer Camp with her best friend Alice. It will be fantastic – no organic porridge, no school, nothing but fun!
But when Alice makes friends with Hazel, Megan begins to feel left out. Hazel’s pretty, sophisticated and popular, and Alice seems to think she’s amazing.
Is Megan going to lose her very best friend?

I really want to read this book. My local bookshop has it and I also saw that it has lots of shelf space in the children's bestsellers section in Eason in O'Connell Street. It's a very attractive looking cover. Can't wait to devour it!

It got a great review in Inis magazine too (Christmas edition). This is a fabulous magazine for anyone interested in reading or writing childrens books. This particular issue has a tribute to the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren and an article about her written by - moi.

Hi Megan and Mary,
If you go the writing section I will give some details for anyone interested in writing for children. I've been working in children's books for 15 years now, and it's a lovely world to be involved in.
The writers I've met through it - Jo Rowling, Jackie Wilson, Judy Blume (that was so exciting!) - now that's been amazing and inspirational.

Thanks everyone. I didn't know in advance that Alice was going to be mentioned on The Late Late Show, so it was a lovely surprise. Also fun as I kept getting texts, thus discovering exactly what all my friends do on Friday nights.
