Thank you so much to author for coming in to visit us at Jeffreys! Fiona writes heartwarming and comedic stories for middle readers, read more about her titles below.

The Rebound: 'Hoop wizard' Harry is relegated to his school's worst basketball team when he misses tryouts, but his new team has some surprises for him in this triumph-over-adversity story. Perfect for sports-mad kids and readers of series such as Patty Mills' Game Day.

The Embarrassing Confessions of Gracie Sparks: Gracie Sparks has just turned twelve, which means she’s practically a woman. So why does her family still treat her like she’s five years old and allergic to independence? At least she'll be starting at Middleton Grammar soon, where she's sure to continue her streak of being cool, popular and top of her year. Only Gracie is about to discover that becoming popular in high school isn’t that simple. Told through hilariously relatable diary entries, this is a story about growing up, standing out and (not) fitting in.

Thanks again for stopping by Fiona!
