A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ellie was born in Bristol, but raised in a hamlet on the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea by a family of avid readers. So avid, in fact, her mum enrolled her in the local library before she'd even emerged from the womb, which was awkward for all concerned. Ellie's passion for writing stories flourished aged seven, when her parents bought her a Petite Super International typewriter for Christmas, and there was no stopping her.
After studying for a Broadcasting Degree at the University of Leeds, Ellie realised there were too few home makeover shows in the world, and worked on a number of DIY and Garden programmes for UK Style. She then returned to studying and completed an MA in Screenwriting in 2008.
She lives in London.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Dear Your Majesty,

My name is Billie Templar. I am eleven years old. I live in Merchant Stanton which is all right, but it’s not as nice as Buckingham Palace, I bet. Anyway, I know you’re really busy, what with being Queen, and all the tiaras and jewels and dogs you have, but I have a favour to ask you.

Please can you send my dad home from the war? He’s been out there for the last eleven weeks. His best friend got blown up today, and I don’t want him to get hurt, so please can you excuse him from the fighting?

Billie
