Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'In the Famous Five books, the explicit message is that boys lead and girls follow, but the implicit one is that the only character who matters is George - a girl. It is George, not Julian or Dick, who is the 'hero' of the series and the one everyone remembers.' -- Enid Blyton and the School Story by Rosemary Auchm

More About the Author
I live in New Zealand with my family in a house overlooking the Pacific Ocean. My first book was published in 1989 and my latest - The Adventures of George and Timmy was published last year. This book is a compilation of three of my "Just George" series about Enid Blyton's favourite character from the Famous Five books. Sadly, the publishers forgot to put my name on the cover of this new book so new writers beware! I have also written under the name Lucy Daniels for the Animal Ark series. I love sitting at my computer thinking up new stories although have been taking a break lately. Most of my over forty published books are available from second hand book dealers and continue to be enjoyed by thousands of children and young adults. Lots of people tell me they would like to write a book - my advice is ... do it! If you have a book inside you the creating will be easy.
