About the author

Susie Day

Susie Day grew up in Penarth, Wales, with a lisp and a really unfortunate choice of first name.

She has had lots of jobs, including guiding tourists and professional nappy-changing - but she always wanted to be a writer. Her first book, Whump! in which Bill falls 632 miles down a manhole, won the BBC Talent Children's fiction prize, and was published in 2004.

Susie now lives in Oxford, England, and eats a lot of cake and drinks a lot of tea.

Praise for The Secrets of Billie Bright

There's something deliciously Judy Blume-esque about Day's style, she perfectly describes the mixed angst and bravado of growing up and her characters are filled with warmth and humour - just brilliant
