Nicola Davies

Nicola Davies was a zoologist all her life – but then she discovered she could also be a writer! And so can you!

‘The New Girl’ is a beautifully illustrated book about starting a new school!

A child starts a new school in a strange new town. The children in her class initially don’t welcome her in. The girl’s response is to create something beautiful that transforms their attitude and their vision of themselves.

‘The New Girl’ features on the Marvellous Makers Book Collection.
