A fast-paced, madcap and hilarious adventure from the award-winning author of For the Record.
Ellie was born in Bristol, but raised in a hamlet on the outskirts
of Southend-on-Sea by a family of avid readers. So avid, in fact,
her mum enrolled her in the local library before she'd even emerged
from the womb, which was awkward for all concerned. Ellie's passion
for writing stories flourished aged seven, when her parents bought
her a Petite Super International typewriter for Christmas, and
there was no stopping her.
After studying for a Broadcasting Degree at the University of
Leeds, Ellie realised there were too few home makeover shows in the
world, and worked on a number of DIY and Garden programmes for UK
Style. She then returned to studying and completed an MA in
Screenwriting in 2008.
She lives in London.
Matilda is a great character, a brilliant role model, and the book
is a real affirmation of women as scientists

A warm-hearted, funny, madcap adventure . . . this book is going to
