Introducing the Fab Four: Frizzy Lizzy (every day's a bad hair day), E-claire (fat and happy), Owl (wouldn't say anything to a goose, let alone boo) and Flash Harriet (pony fanatic)! Ros Asquith is renowned for her ability to bring out the humour in adolescent worries and insecurities. The Fab Four have their fair share, and Ros Asquith deals with them in her inimitable but reassuring way in these hilarious and addictive pre-teen stories. Love Bug. Normally Flash prefers mucking out to making out but when she meets the gorgeous new stable boy, the plight of Flame the old pony gets forgotten. Can Flame be saved from the knacker's yard and should Flash be let loose with a make-up bag? Drama Queen Owl's incredibly shy but she's got big dreams - and nothing's going to stop her from being in the school play. Will she get the starring part or should she play something quieter, a piece of scenery perhaps?
