‘Fresh, funny and ultra cool’ – Jacqueline Wilson
Hello! My name is Edie Eckhart and I’m eleven years old. I’m a little bit different. I have a disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It’s never really bothered me because I’ve never known anything else.
Edie Eckhart is Excited with a capital E to start secondary school with her best friend Oscar – the fish to her chips, the bananas to her custard. But when she and Oscar are put into different tutor groups on their first day, Edie is devastated. Who will play secret hangman with her in class? Who will she eat sausage rolls with?
But while she’s plotting her reunion with Oscar, she accidentally gets cast as the lead in the school play. As Edie discovers a passion for performance, she also finds new friendships, talents, and dreams. After all, it’s easy to shine on and off the stage when you’re Amazing with a capital A.
‘This book is as funny and warm as a sausage roll. I loved it!’ Jenny McLachlan, author of Land of Roar
‘Enjoyable and uplifting. Everyone needs an Edie Eckhart in their lives.’ Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G

I liked the book a lot because it’s about a girl and a boy who are best friends. They are put into different classes at school and they make lots of new friends.

I loved this book, the characters were likeable and it was funny! It was interesting to read from the point of view of someone with a disability and a good lesson in being kind to others. I like how it was written. I now want to read the second book in the series. I recommend this book.

This is the first book of the series and is a fictional story about a girl called Edie Eckhart and her cerebral palsy and basically just about what happens to her in her day to day life, how she deals with it and everything. It is written as her diary. Jacqueline Wilson described it as fresh, funny and ultra cool. Really Jacqueline, I could not put it better myself. I would recommend this for any reader who loves books (who does not love books).

I liked this book because it is about someone who has a disability who is a bit different from everybody else. I recommend this book to people who like strong friendships, acting or secondary school.

The book was ok. I didn't like anyone in particular. I would recommend it to someone that likes writing in their diary.
Empress Jet Piccalilli 14.08.2023
I found this rather weird in a lot of concepts ( Mainly the whole Boyfriend/Girlfriend thing) But overall was disappointed. It was quite heavy reading for me.
