Knowing Me, Knowing You

Knowing Me, Knowing You

by HelenBailey (Author)

Synopsis

Chantelle 'Channy' Allen is just about enduring her slightly bored teenage existence - trying not to die of embarrassment every time her parents' Abba tribute band perform a cringing medley of hits in front of all her friends...

But then Channy finds out something that turns her world upside down; something that makes perfect sense, but at the same time seems utterly ridiculous. Something that Channy is intent on investigating - despite the distraction of gorgeous French exchange student Antoine.

Channy's about to learn a valuable life lesson: sometimes curiosity is a dangerous thing...

Media Reviews
A good story told with wit and humour...popular dialogue and lively narrative are combined with a light touch that carries the story along * Carousel *
Some really serious issues are woven into this teenage novel. The book is entertaining with a lot to laugh about...it requires a mature teenager to perceive the seriousness of the issues beneath the humour * Books for Keeps *
A humorous, light-hearted story with funny, real and SHALLOW characters (Taking the Plunge). A must read! * Hannah, 12, Chicklish website *
Electra is a really likeable character with a great outlook on life. She feels very believable, and even though she worries about the big things in life, the shallow things still get to her. * Write Away, website *
One for all teenage girls to read (Out of My Depth). I highly recommend it! * Kirsty Scard, Waterstones *
We love her! * Mizz on Electra Brown *

Author Bio

Helen Bailey was born and brought up in Northumberland, a county she always regarded as home.

Barely into her teens, Helen invested her pocket money in buying a copy of The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook and spent the next few years sending short stories and poems to anyone she could think of. Much to her surprise, she sometimes found herself in print.

After a degree in science, Helen worked in the media, running a successful London-based character licensing agency handling internationally renowned properties such as Snoopy, Felicity Wishes, Dilbert and Zorro.

Helen died in 2016, leaving behind a significant body of work. She is best known for her Electra Brown series, of which the first is 'Life in the Shallow End'.
