The first book in the hilarious Jess Jackson series from much-loved author and comedian Catherine Wilkins, with a new cover illustrated by Katie Abey - perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks!


JESS and NAT are best friends. They've had some of the most HILARIOUS times ever and nothing can change that, not even the arrival of NEW GIRL, Amelia. Except it changes EVERYTHING.

Amelia is MEAN, and soon she and Natalie behave as if Jess doesn't exist. But Jess has a plan, and a SECRET WEAPON - her HB pencil...

A funny, relatable story that will touch a nerve with everyone who reads it as Jess Jackson takes on the mean girl at school, using only her pencil and her sense of humour, and makes all new friends along the way.

When Jessica's best friend goes off with new-girl Amelia, Jessica is hurt but determined not to take it lying down. She has a plan, and a secret weapon - her felt-tips. The pen is mightier than the sword, after all, and having a sense of humour wins Jessica far more friends than she loses.

I don't need a best friend. I have plenty of things to get on with. Like, well, um. Hmmm. Ok, that's not a good sign. Jessica and Natalie have been best friends since their finger-painting days. They've shared everything, including a sense of humour that has led to some of the most hilarious times ever! And nothing can ever change that, not even the arrival at school of new girl, Amelia. Except it actually changes everything. Amelia is mean, and a snob, and she and Natalie start acting as if Jessica doesn't exist. But Jessica's got a plan, and a secret weapon. The cartoon is mightier than, er, being left out of everything...

Honestly, I don't know why my parents are so annoyed by our boring old neighbours. Amelia is much worse than them. The Van Derks don't tell me my jacket is rubbish and then invite Natalie over for the weekend, but not me, and then go on about all the popcorn and chocolate ice-cream they are going to eat while watching 15 certificate films, right in front of me. I mean, if the Van Derks did do that, I could see why my parents were bothered by them.
