What happens when you discover that you can talk to animals? That would really change your life, wouldn't it?
This is what happens to Fleur, who already has to balance between her two vastly different cultures. Her mum's English culture and her nan's West Indian culture.
Her nan reveals that Fleur is a hexter, someone who can perform magic. Which is why she can talk to animals.
Fleur's life has been thrown into turmoil, as her two best friends Ruby and Anais don't seem to have any time for her, they no longer come round to her house for teatime, thus they no longer save Fleur from her mum's dreadful cooking!
Why did this happen? Because new girl at school, Celeste, decided that Fleur, with her love of playing chess and reading books, is 'boring' and she has convinced Ruby and Anais that Fleur is boring and they avoid her at school and no longer come round to her house, which has really hurt Fleur.
Fleur hears Celeste badmouthing her at school calling her "Borer Snorer" and her two former best friends began laughing at her and making snoring noises.
But what can she do to deal with Celeste? And why are birds mobbing Celeste, including pecking her ear to the extent that it started to bleed?
And how can a parrot called Sir Barclay help Fleur to deal with her problems?
And how can she take hockey star Celeste down?
It's a book that is amusing and a real fun read.
It's published by Hashtag at £6.99.
