The Bed and Breakfast Star



A funny, touching and popular tale of life in a bed and breakfast hotel.

Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots!

I'm Elsa, and that's one of my jokes (I tell LOTS of jokes and I'm going to be a big star one day). I do my best to cheer my family up - but no one seems to laugh much any more. Not since we lost our lovely house and had to move into a bed and breakfast hotel . . .

Praise for The Bed and Breakfast Star

An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief

Independent on Sunday

The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues

Daily Telegraph

This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story

Scribbler

Funny and very moving
