Description
Lily has a stammer. The signal between her brain and her mouth is all messed up – and it’s getting worse. When a video of her practicing her class presentation is uploaded onto YouTube - head thrust forward, eyelids fluttering, lips stretched wide - Lily’s nightmare begins. Cyberbullying, kids at school whispering, even best friend Mia laughing behind her back. Lily’s confidence takes a nose-dive and she can only see one way out: run away to Dad in Scotland and start all over again. But Lily quickly realises that running away isn’t the answer - that her stammer will follow her wherever she goes… HOW TO BE MORE HEDGEHOG is about friendship and family and finding the courage to speak out.
Advance Praise
“As a stammerer I found Lily’s story inspiring and moving in equal measure. Many people who stammer will recognise her experiences as being very real. I wish this book had been there for me when I was growing up.” – Felicity Baker
'So full of kindness and humanity. An elixir for the spirit!' Zillah Bethell
“The story of Lily and how she deals with her stammer is touching and inspiring and above all firmly based in real experience . . . it turns negatives into positives and in the end shows Lily has strengths that make her as tough and as capable as any of her schoolmates.” - MICHAEL PALIN
“Moving, Inspirational. I couldn’t put it down.” – Sophie Raworth
