Alex has two sides to her personality - at home and in class she's so quiet you wouldn't know she was there. It's only when she gets to the After School Club that her mean streak starts to show itself. And when her mum, an assistant at the club, has to amend some contact details, Alex doesn't think they'll be any harm in switching round a few of the emergency phone numbers...This is part of a major new series which is being launched in with two titles in June 2003. This is the third in the series, with one more following in November. The Government's aim is that by 2003 out of school places for 865,000 children will have been created, with the number of After School Clubs set to be around 20,000. Helena Pielichaty is a popular and hard-working author with an enthusiastic following and growing number of fans. She has also written three Simone titles for this age range, which have currently sold over 40,000 copies in the UK alone. "Simone's Letters" was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and "Simone's Diary" was chosen as a World Book Day recommended read.

Helena Pielichaty (pronounced Pierre-li-hatty) has written over thirty books for children. Her latest series, Girls FC, is set around a fictional girls' football team so she was delighted to be asked to write her first non-fiction book for HarperCollins on a subject close to her heart. Helena's auntie played women's football in the 1950s and her daughter played from the age of 9 to 26. Helena herself has never played football but was an enthusiastic, if inept, wing defence on her school netball team.
