The fourth book in the hilarious Jess Jackson series from much-loved author and comedian Catherine Wilkins, with a new cover illustrated by Katie Abey – perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks!

Jess’s cartoons are actually beginning to take off. A local comic store wants to use them in a campaign and she is in danger of becoming really rather FAMOUS (at school). This leads to some tensions with her friends. Why can’t people be happy for her? It’s not as if all the SUCCESS is going to her head, or anything. Or actually that it’s anything like success at all…

A funny, relatable story that will touch a nerve with everyone who reads it as Jess Jackson takes on the mean girl at school, using only her pencil and her sense of humour, and makes all new friends along the way.

Look out for these the laugh-out-loud funny books by Catherine Wilkins:

Café Chaos: My Family Is Not a Piece of Cake

You’re Not the Boss of Me! (WINNER Lollies 2024, Teen)

My Brilliant Life and Other Disasters: A Jess Jackson Book

My School Musical and Other Punishments

""I loved this book. It’s brilliantly funny and painfully true"" – Jenny Colgan
