Synopsis

The exciting new Jelly Pie series of books for girls from Marianne Levy about a little film star with a big personality. Dear Everybody, I'm an incredibly famous film star! I get to sign autographs and be in magazines and I have my very own chaperone, Jeffrey, to look after me. Hooray! But I am also a very serious person. I love nature. I have a bag decorated with butterflies. Did you know that butterflies turn into caterpillars? Amazingly amazing! And that's why I'm helping to save a nature reserve. I've never saved anything before, but it can't be very hard ...can it? Love, Ellie May xxx Looking for a new series of books for girls? Ellie May is the new comedy heroine on the block. With a ditzy brain but an enormous heart she finds herself in all manner of troubles, whether it's rubbing shoulders with other celebrities or getting back to nature to protect endangered animals. And Ellie May is wonderfully brought to life by the cute but comedic illustrations by rising star Ali Pye. 'This book made me laugh out loud. Ellie May rocks!' Andy Stanton, author of Mr Gum. 'Very, very funny. A sparkling showstopper' The Independent.

Media Reviews
* 'This book made me laugh out loud. Ellie May rocks!' (Andy Stanton, author of Mr Gum) * 'Superbly quirky and amusing... a clever and witty reposte to the celebrity obsessed, superficial society we live in.' (Konnie Huq, star of Blue Peter and the Xtra Factor)
Author Bio
Before she started writing books, Marianne was an actress. Not the incredibly famous sort, though. After graduating from Cambridge University she appeared in a few TV shows and did a bit of comedy on Radio 4. She has been in one film, in which she managed to forget both her lines. Since then, Marianne has written for The Story of Tracy Beaker, introduced America's Next Top Model and been the voice of a yogurt. She lives in London, and spends her spare time eating cheese and hassling other people's dogs.
