Informationen zum Autor Lyn Gardner is the author of Olivia's First Term and the other Olivia books. She was born in London and now lives near Richmond Park with her partner and two daughters. A theatre critic for The Guardian, she goes to the theatre five or six nights a week, which should leave no time for writing books at all. Before she became a journalist, Lyn was a tea lady, a waitress and sold advertising space for a magazine called Sludge. Her ambitions are to learn to tap dance and walk the high wire, but it may have to be the low wire as she is a bit scared of heights! Klappentext Olivia is sad and lonely and angry - angry that she's been dumped with her sister, Eel, at her grandmother's school, and angrier still that that school turns out to be a stage school where there's no encouragement for her to do what she loves best: practise her circus skills. But in the course of a turbulent first term, Olivia finds out much more than she bargained for about the theatre, about friendship, about enemies, about her family and about herself. Leseprobe It's a stage school! You said that we were going to stay with Granny Alicia and go to her school. You didn't tell us that she runs a stage school." Olivia spat out the words "stage school" as if they had a nasty taste and glared at her father. "You hate all that fake theatre stuff, and so do we." "Not me," piped up Eel. "I've always wanted to learn to dance but we've never stayed anywhere long enough to have lessons." She tried to do a little twirl and got tangled up with Olivia. "I'll be a great dancer. The bestest."
