Award-winning author James Roy makes you laugh out loud with his witty, visual prose . . . James Roy has created another winner with Miss Understood. There’s a lovely sense of a moving-on cycle as all the characters grow within themselves and with each other. Will Lizzie be given another chance at Our Lady of the Sacred Wimple College? I’m sure, after the principal has seen how much Lizzie Adams has grown up.

James Roy explores some very adult issues, such as financial problems, depression and homelessness, through the authentic voice of curious, kind-hearted Lizzie . . . Despite the relatively simple premise of this story, the in-depth exploration of family dynamics is mature and fresh in a genre dominated by conveniently absent parents. This is a great book for children aged 9-12, particularly for fans of authors such as Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson.
