Billie Bright has to do a hero project
She has recently started secondary school and in English, she and her classmates have to do a project about someone they admire. She chooses her mum, who died of cancer when Billie was five. But that's the problem - 'Welsh' and 'smelled nice' does not fill up 48 pages. Whenever Billie asks her father, or brothers, about her mum they go quiet. Will Billie get the information she needs for her project? And will she reveal secrets about her mum?
What I think:
I think that it's cleverly written and shows that you shouldn't be scared of secondary school. Also people who have lost friends and relatives when young can relate to the story as well.
Perfect for girls aged 11+
