Alex Gutteridge was born in Leicestershire and has lived there ever since, earning her the rather dubious title of 'woolly back'! Alex attended local primary schools, followed by boarding school and 6th form college. She is now married with 3 children and surrounded by pets that include several stick insects and lots of fish. Alex has a real fear of spiders, Maths and hermetically sealed packages but cannot get enough of raspberries, the colour Blue and swinging as high as she can go on her daughter's swing!
You won't be able to put this fantastic read down. We're sad it's over * Mizz * This book will appeal to a variety of children who can relate to having mixed-up feelings and a hatred of maths! * Teaching and Learning * A fast and fluent read -- Niall McGonagle * Irish Times * A satisfyingly wry, realistic conclusion makes this a book to grow up with - or, at least, to help along the way * Carousel *
