Ellie May Would Like to be Taken Seriously for a Change

Ellie May is a famous film star living a jet set lifestyle with everything she could possibly want: fashionable clothes, expensive handbags and plenty of nail varnish! But she wants to be known for more than films and fashion and decides she must adopt a cause in order to be taken seriously. And so Ellie May meets Lettice, the only little girl who isn’t a fan, and discovers fun and friendship can be more important than glitz and glamour.

Despite her faults, Ellie May is an appealing character, desperate to prove her worth in a glamorous and superficial world. This is a delightful tale about friendship told with wit and charm. The easy to read text is interspersed with lots of funny illustrations with huge appeal for reluctant readers.
