Freaks Out! (Frankie Foster, Book 3)

Description

The third hilarious book about ten-year-old FRANKIE FOSTER - the girl who wants to help, but ends up causing chaos! From the best-loved and original Queen of Tween, whose books are described by Jacqueline Wilson as, "funny, funky, feisty - and fantastic reads!" Frankie Foster loves fixing people's problems. Her help might not always be welcome - and she might cause the odd total disaster - but Frankie always fixes things. Eventually! Frankie's best friend Skye, who's pretty serious at the best of times, is acting even more quiet than usual, so it's up to Frankie and their other best friend, Jem, to find out what's up. And when Skye confesses that she's lost a very special pencil, bequeathed to her by her granny, Frankie is determined to discover what's happened to the precious heirloom. In fact, she's SO determined to help, she's prepared to go to some extraordinary lengths... with some hilarious and very spooky consequences!

Jean Ure has written over sixty books for children and young people. She is a vegan and committed to animal rights hence her passion for writing about animals. She lives with her husband Leonard and 7 stray dogs and cats in a 300-year-old cottage in Croydon.
