Rosie asked her gran hopefully. They had a few different ways back from school to Gran’s house, but the lane past the farm was Rosie’s favourite. That was the good thing about Gran picking her up from school while Mum was at work. Gran wasn’t usually in a rush, and she didn’t mind walking slowly ...
He missed her. It seemed so long since she’d left the house for school that morning. She had taken him out in the garden and they’d played with his jingly ball, which had been fun. But then Hannah’s mum had called her in. Since then he’d only had a quick walk round the park at lunchtime, with Zak...
“I wasn’t!” she said, shaking her head in bewilderment.Poppy sighed. “I don’t think you meant to be. Or I don’t think so now, anyway. But you all went off somewhere without me at lunch, and then this afternoon you kept looking at each other and – and sort of smirking…” She glanced up miserably at...
She wasn’t swimming. She was lying on a bed, and the bed was moving, juddering up and down. She felt sick. In fact, now she thought about it, she was going to be sick. ‘Don’t!’ Georgie snapped. ‘I can tell you’re about to, an...
Ellie hovered next to her mum’s mini-office under the stairs. “I might have, why?” Mum glanced round from her computer. She’d told Ellie she needed to get a bit of work finished off before she made the dinner. Ellie rubbed one foot up and down her l...
Everything around her reminded her of the fairy world. She couldn’t even walk past the mirror on the landing without feeling guilty. What was she going to do about the fairy girl from the riverbank? Emily shook her head, trying to clear it a little....
She didn’t know why, but things felt different. She knew she needed to find somewhere quiet and warm, and just curl up and be on her own for a while. But no one seemed to want her to do that! Star loved Jasmine, and usually she adored all the attention and cuddling she got...
Adam said, staring down at Lucky’s new lead with his arms folded and a sulky expression on his face. “No, red looks lovely with his fur. If you hadn’t spent all your pocket money on sweets, you could have bought the new lead!” Georgia pointed out. “This is Lucky’s first pr...
He knew he could find Molly. He’d know her smell anywhere! He had wriggled out of the window quite easily, and fallen into the flower bed, but it didn’t matter. Molly was going to be so pleased to see him! Only – he had been expecting to find her by now. Molly’s house was ...
She watched as the puppy suddenly appeared from among the trees, streaking towards them in a black-and-white blur. “She’s running about off her lead again,” she said nervously. Mum looked round at Jess. “She’s just having fun, Chloe, don’t worry.” &...
It was such a huge job. The removals van was coming early the next morning, and everything had to be packed up by then. Megan could tell that her mum was panicking that they wouldn’t be ready in time. She was trying to stay out of the way as much as possible, but it wasn’t...
Maddy said worriedly. She had her coat and her rucksack and her lunchbag – and a kitten sitting on her shoulder, sniffing with interest at the rucksack. “It’s the first day I won’t have been here to play with her.” “I’ll be here though,” her mum pointed out. Maddy’s mum wo...
Look what I’ve made for you!” Poppy leaned over their table, and passed Emily a piece of card, carefully sealed in a plastic envelope. “I scanned it on Mum’s scanner too, so I’ll email it to you when I get home. But I just wanted you to see the real thing first.”Emily took it, wondering what on e...
“She is cute, isn’t she? Bouncing around the cage like that.” But the kitten stared at her crossly. “What are you laughing at?” Molly tried to stop giggling, but the kitten was so funny, and of course, with her dad there, she couldn’t explain. “Sam! Phone call for you!” Jenny was calling from the...
Izzy purred. “It was brilliant…”“I don’t know whether we ought to hope Ali does come to the auditions or not,” Emily mused. “She’d probably be quite a good model – she’s so full of herself, she won’t mind prancing down a catwalk. And it would be fun bossing her around. But she might try and take ...
“Emily, was that toy car Jack just opened from Auntie May or Auntie Sue? No, hang on, Auntie Sue sent you both book tokens, didn’t she?” She stared at the list, anxiously. “But I’m sure she said something about a car.” Emily’s dad rustled through the paper to try and find ...
Mandy said sadly, looking at the little brown-and-white ball in the basket. It was all they’d been able to see of Harry for days. Sally called gently, “Harry! Here, boy!” but he didn’t even twitch. “It’s so sad. He really adored Grace, but I can understand why she doesn’t ...
He didn’t always sleep in her room, only sometimes, but he’d been following her around all day. He’d even sat on her feet during dinner. Luckily, with Lark and Lory complaining about a new teacher, the meal was noisy enough that no one really noticed how pale and quiet Emily was. Her mum did ask ...
It was very early – she wasn’t sure of the time exactly, but the maids had only just been lighting the stove when she scurried out of the back door of Merrythought House. It was full summer, and the sun was hot already, glittering on the ripples. The hard, silvery light seemed to cut a path acros...
“Who was that?” Sophie asked. “It was Mr Jenkins. He’s asked us all round for a cup of tea this afternoon.” Mum looked at Sophie, whose face had suddenly crumpled, and Tom and Michael, and said firmly, “I told him of course we would love to. It will be nice to see him.” &n...
Erika murmured. She was shivering and pale, and Lotta hated the way her cheeks looked pinched with cold under her hat. The two girls moved into the shelter of the trees, away from the rushing sound of the river and sat down, huddled together. Karl trotted over and nestled ...
It had hitched up, somehow, and now she was pressed against the wall. And she must have kicked off her duvet, too, she was so cold. Amelia gave up trying to reach for them with her eyes shut and sat up. There was no pillow, and no duvet, either. She wasn’t even in her bed....
“Ben Williams and Rob Ford! Get down from there right now!” Olivia looked up and groaned. Mrs Mackintosh sounded as if she’d yelled right in Olivia’s ear, even though she was on the other side of the playground. “What have Ben and Rob done now?” her...
They were waiting for Lucy’s mum to bring her round for a last quick de-scaring session before her audition. The girls still weren’t sure exactly what they were going to do. Lucy’s mum wasn’t as used to dogs as Christy’s mum was, and Ellie didn’t think she’d be happy about Rascal and Bouncer jump...
They certainly weren’t happy about their little sister getting to choose the new puppy. “Will you two just stop it!” Dad snapped in the end. “How exactly did you think you were both going to get the puppy you wanted, even if we hadn’t chosen Ellie’s favourite? It’s not as ...
Lark sighed. “She won’t believe you,” Robin pointed out. “I know!” Lark snapped back. “You’ll have to back me up.” “Won’t that just make her cross though?” Emily suggested. “She might get annoyed if she thinks everyone knows ...
“You won!” Bella hugged her. “You see, I knew I was right to get you to go in. Sid’s a champion. Two firsts!”“What’s the next class, Bella?” Tom asked. “Whatever it is, I think your friend Megan’s in it.” He pointed across the ring to where Megan was lining up with Coco. “Oh, ‘Cutest Puppy Under ...
Milly isn’t in the window,” Tia said, sounding surprised.“Maybe she heard Christy singing and went to the door already,” Mum suggested. “I bet the whole street heard her.”But there was no kitten rubbing lovingly around their ankles when Mum opened the front door.Tia hurried into the kitchen to se...
But Mum had said that Ruby could get him out as soon as the car pulled up at the house. When Ruby opened the flaps, Toby was squashed into the corner of the box with his special blanket in his teeth, looking very worried. He really didn’t understand what was happening, and...
“Maybe you can just nip in and see the kittens,” Mum suggested. “Not for long though, because you and Emily can’t be late for school. OK?” Mia nodded, and gave her mum a quick hug. She could see what Mum was doing. She was giving Mia a chance to see the kittens for just a ...
She spun round immediately, thinking that somehow it was Alfie. “Hello, Evie! Ben and Tigger and I are just out for our walk. We thought we’d see if you and Alfie wanted to come with us. I know you haven’t had a lot of time to walk him recently.” Gr...
She was still so tired from being bounced and shaken around, and now the light was flooding in, after hours of being shut in the dark. It hurt her eyes and she whimpered unhappily. Her bigger, stronger brothers recovered more quickly, bouncing up to see what was happening, and where they were. Bu...
Lucy gave her lots of cuddles and was wonderful to play with when they were on their own, but as soon as anyone else came into the kitchen, she would pretend that she couldn’t even see Sky. It was horrible. Sky couldn’t help feeling that she must have done something wrong, and she was desperate t...
Mum fussed around the kitchen, putting the kettle on. “Would you open it, Lauren?” It was two weeks after Mum had broken the news about the new neighbours moving in, and they’d said they were going to pop round that afternoon. Lauren still couldn’t help wishing it was a gi...
Katie, Jess and their mum went to the pet shop on the way home from school the next day, with a long list. Katie had brought all her pocket money with her, although she didn’t have an awful lot left after buying Christmas presents. It certainly wasn’t enough to buy everything she wanted to get fo...
“Shh!” “Lucy, is that a kitten? Is that the kitten from by the baker’s shop?” “Yes, but shh! Please don’t make her run away. She’s really shy, William. Look, come and sit down here.” William sat down, as slowly and quietly as...
She would be sacked for sure and probably sent back to the orphanage and locked up there till she was fourteen. Then they’d send her down a mine or something—Rose couldn’t help but agree. It was the only way. “Drat that Sparrow woman,” Gus said, as they crept along the cor...
She’d let Rascal out for a wee earlier and he’d been in the garden for an awfully long time. She jumped up and ran to the window. She could just see a small, white shape, scrabbling away – in the middle of Dad’s veg patch. At that moment, she heard the front door open. Dad...
Lila muttered. “You too, Max, go on.” Ellie slipped on her flip-flops and hustled Rascal away. Gran was checking the picnic bag to see if Rascal had eaten anything else. “Let’s go and look at those rocks over by the cliff.” Max pointed along the bea...
Misty was so sweet, and very well-behaved. Amy’s mum had been worried about her making messes in the house, but Amy’s dad went out and bought a litter tray, and Misty soon showed that she was beautifully house trained. “I don’t think she can have been born feral,” Amy’s mum said, tickling Misty ...
