About this book
Pippa Morgan is on a mission! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and Mr Bacon has asked his class to write about three things they love. Pippa can't choose between detectives, dogs, astronauts, popstar Tiffany J and chicken nuggets. When she learns that the original Saint Valentine married lots of couples in secret, so the Roman Emperor couldn't send the husbands away to war, she dreams up another Valentine project: to make Mr Bacon fall in love with her newly divorced mum. When her plan doesn't work, Pippa decides she'll be very naughty in class. Then Mr Bacon will have to summon her mum…
A funny story about an endearing heroine whose misguided intentions result in numerous entertaining escapades.
