Ophelia Bottom longs for a boring life. Instead, she' s stuck living in a rickety converted van and managing Bottom' s Travelling Theatre, the moveable stage where her embarrassing actor parents put on occasionally disastrous plays. Every day, she wishes she lived in an ordinary house, with parents who worked ordinary, undramatic jobs. When the family gets stuck in the seaside town of Stopford, Ophelia' s dream appears to be coming true: all the Stopford residents seem to have very normal lives. But someone is trying to drive the Bottoms out, and surrounding all the normality is a strange village motto: PLASTIC IS FANTASTIC. Can Ophelia discover what' s really behind Stopford' s perfect appearance - before she loses everything that makes the Bottom family life so special?
By the time she hit her teens, Susie Bower had lived in 8 houses and attended 7 schools. This theme continued in her working life: she' s been a teacher, a tour-guide, a typist, a workshop facilitator, a PA and a painter. She formerly wrote and directed TV programmes for children at the BBC and Channel 4, for which she won a BAFTA Award, and she currently writes audio scripts. School for Nobodies, The Three Impossibles and Shoo! are also available from Pushkin Children' s. Susie lives in Bristol.
