* Alice Next Door

The first book in the Alice and Megan series

Imagine your very best friend who lived next door, has moved away. And so you have to face everything alone, including the class bully and your parents, who are obsessed with family meetings and organic vegetables. You're miserable, right?
Then image your best friend comes up with a plan so crazy, it might just work.  Before you know it, you're telling monster lies and making noodles with bath water so you can be together again . . .
When Alice's parents split up and she has to move away, Megan feels as if her world has fallen apart.  Join these BFFs as they hatch a secret plot so they can stay best friends forever.

* Alice Again

The second book in the Alice and Megan series

A holiday trip to visit your best friend in another city should be heaps of fun, right? Some movies, a bit of shopping and just hanging out? Not if your best friend's Alice, and especially not if she's just found out her mum has a new boyfriend.
Once again, you're drawn into Alice's crazy plans.  You're stalking a man called Norman and hiding behind pot plants and lamp posts. It's so un-fun, it's enough to make you really mad – mad enough to think about finding a new best friend . . . 
Megan can't wait to see Alice again - or can she?  Join these BFFs on a crazy holiday adventure that will put their friendship to the test.

* Don't Ask Alice

The second book in the Alice and Megan series

Don't ask Alice if you want to get your parents back together.'Simple,' says Alice – just set your dad up on lots of dates to make your mum jealous. It can't fail! (Can it?) But when Alice is around, nothing goes to plan. Before you know it, you're making people listen to you play the tin whistle while Alice makes vanilla soup, and spending all your pocket money replacing your mum's best crystal vase.

Alice is back in town, and so it's no surprise that Megan is back in trouble. Join these BFFs on a matchmaking mission that all goes horribly wrong …

* Alice in the Middle

The fourth book in the Alice and Megan series.

Summer camp with your BFF should be the best time of your life, right? Weeks of fun activities, freedom from your mum's organic porridge and lots of hanging out.
But what happens when a bully who has it in for you steals your best friend? Before you know it, she's prancing around in a tennis dress, going on double dates and spilling your deepest secrets. Could summer holidays get any worse?

Can Alice and Megan's friendship survive a trip to summer camp? Join these BFFs as they face their biggest challenge yet . . .
