Julia looks forward to the most exciting event of the year. As the countdown begins, her world fills with new friendships and surprises, especially when a very pretty girl unexpectedly joins her class and they become great friends. In addition, the cutest boy at school suddenly becomes a part of their group and Julia looks forward to the special occasion that they are all planning for.
But without warning, the events that begin to unfold are not at all what Julia has anticipated. Is there a bully in their midst and is bullying going on around her?
What is in store for Julia and what is the final outcome of her worst day ever?
You are sure to love the first book in the Julia Jones series. It is fast paced and suspenseful and will captivate you from start to finish.
A fantastic book for girls aged from 9 to 12.
Take a look at some of the reviews...I LOVE THIS BOOK! The book is good and it really sounds realistic.
- I loved the book, it was so good I couldn't put it down. I gave it 5 stars because it was funny, sad and a great book. I would recommend it to 9-16.

I am currently looking for translators in German and French.
The English version of book 2 is Number 1 in its category in Germany.
This is the first book of a 5 book series. We have made the English Book 1 version permafree (thousands of readers have downloaded it and then they buy the next four books). Translated version can be sold for money. This series sells very well, particularly in UK. Great reviews.

This is how it all started…
The last thing I remember is the look of horror on the faces of the audience. But what had caused me to feel the most humiliation was when I noticed Blake Jansen, the coolest boy in our class, staring down at me in disbelief.
My memory of that night still fills me with shame. Everyone says that I was lucky to get away with only a mild concussion and a huge lump on my head. But the disgrace I had felt at being the laughing stock of the whole school was still very fresh in my mind. I’d really like to try and forget that entire day, erase it from my memory banks forever, but right now it keeps coming back to haunt me. Loser with a capital L! That’s the way I feel about myself right now. I still can’t believe the events of that fateful day. If only it were a nightmare I could wake up from and never ever have to think about again. But unfortunately, that is just not the case!
Mom says that time heals all wounds and that everyone else has probably completely forgotten the incident, but I think it’s going to take quite a while for me to get over it. For some reason though, I suspect that one particular girl in our class had something to do with it all. Call it gut instinct or intuition, but I have a sneaking suspicion that somehow she was involved.
Thinking back before that doomed day, life had been pretty good. My best friend, Millie and I had auditioned for the school musical and we were both selected for major roles. Being in grade seven gave us an advantage over the younger kids, that and of course the fact that we were both dancers. The best part was that we’d also been asked to choreograph sections of the performance and this was a huge honor.

Author review: Stefanos is extremely professional and thorough and an absolute pleasure to work with. He responds quickly, is open to suggestions, and adheres to timelines. He has worked with Elpida, a proofreader, to ensure the quality of the translation, which makes his services even more valuable. I wish all translators were as proficient and eager as Stefanos. I feel very lucky to have him translating my books and highly recommend his services for any translation work. |
