The Small Things

Informationen zum Autor Lisa Thompson is a children’s novelist and the author of the best-selling The Goldfish Boy and The Light Jar. The Goldfish Boy was a Waterstones Children’s Book of the Month and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal, the Branford Boase Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.  Hannah Coulson says that she spent her childhood “drawing pictures, eating 99s and trying not to tell fibs”. Hannah studied at Glasgow School of Art, and now creates playful artworks full of pattern. She particularly likes drawing outdoors and making things for her friends. Klappentext Anna's anxious when she's picked to befriend the new girl in her class. For a start, Ellie is ill and can't come to school herself, so Anna has to communicate with her using a new kind of robot. But Anna is also worried that her life is too small and boring to be of interest to her new friend. Compared to the other girls, she doesn't have anything exciting to talk about. So when Ellie asks her what she's been up to out of school, a little white lie pops out. Then another and another. When Ellie finds out the truth, can their friendship survive?
