Wendy's plans don't always work out but that's never stopped her having the best time ever! When she fails to get the lead part in the school production, Wendy stuns the audience with her debut as a crocodile's bottom! Then Wendy is dragged along to her best-friend Florence's tap-dancing class and somehow manages to wow the teacher with her dancing skills and land a part as a tap-dancing munchkin in their show. (If Florence Hubert hadn't been allergic, Wendy would have been famous for a whole summer season.) And when Wendy dresses up for a school project she makes the headlines, all thanks to Kevin, the school rat, and a 'Primary Plague Fiasco!'

WENDY MEDDOUR has been lecturing and teaching at Oxford University for the last eight years, but is now writing full-time as well as painting and illustrating. She is married to an Algerian mathematician and lives in Wiltshire. Her other title in the Cinammon Grove series is The Hen in the Wardrobe. Wendy Meddour's debut novel, A Hen in the Wardrobe, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award, selected as one of the Guardian's 'Outstanding Children's Books of the Year' and won the John C Laurence Award for writing that 'improves relations between the races'. Wendy has also written the much-loved Wendy Quill series. Like Dottie, these books are illustrated by her 13-year-old daughter, Mina May - whose debut: Wendy Quill is a Crocodile's Bottom was described as a 'visual inspiration' by The Bookseller. Though she left the hilltops to acquire a doctorate and teach English at Oxford University, she still loves to visit.
