This hilarious middle-grade series about unforgettable Billie Upton Green, perfect for fans of Tom Gates, marks the arrival of major new author-illustrator Jen Carney. Enter the hilarious world of Billie Upton Green . . . A masterpiece of funny fiction, and the start of an exciting new series full of Billie' s laugh-out-loud observations and doodles!There is a new girl at Billie' s school, and Billie takes it upon herself to show her around, teach her the Biscuit Laws, and remind her that yes, two women can get married (after all, Billie' s mums' wedding is the event of the year). But then suspicion sets in. The new girl seems very close to Billie' s best friend Layla. And doesn' t she know a little too much about the latest big school heist - the theft of Mrs Robinson' s purse. . . ?
For readers of seven-plus, Jen Carney' s The Accidental Diary of BUG (Puffin) introduces sparky eponymous heroine Billie Upton Green . . . This cheery, highly illustrated diary story, more rooted in contemporary reality than Liz Pichon' s Tom Gates books, is the first in a series that' s sure to find devoted fans. * The Guardian * I really enjoyed reading the adventures of Billie Upton Green (not Bug!!)! Billie is a delightful and relatable character, and her escapades are both funny and heart-warming. I particularly enjoyed the inclusivity in the text, and it' s a real joy to see such positive LGBTQ+ representation in children' s books. Jen has written a real treat for younger readers, and the artwork is fabulous, too! * L. D. Lapinski, The Strangeworlds Travel Agency * Readers will love Billie' s adventures, and her funny, doodle-filled way of sharing them, as much as they love the Dork Diaries or Wimpy Kid stories, and it' s great too to see such a warm celebration of diverse family life. * Andrea, LoveReading4Kids *
