The Dangerous Life of Ophelia Bottom

The Dangerous Life of Ophelia Bottom by Susie Bower

Ophelia Bottom longs for an ordinary life: to have normal, well-behaved parents rather than embarrassing actors, and to live in a house that stays still. Instead, she's stuck living in a rickety converted van - and having to manage her parents' often disastrous plays at Bottom's Travelling Theatre. When the family are forced to stay in the idyllic town of Stopford, Ophelia's dream appears to be coming true. But someone is trying to drive the Bottoms out, and there's the issue of the strange Stopford motto: PLASTIC IS FANTASTIC - DIFFERENT IS DANGEROUS. Can Ophelia discover what lurks behind Stopford's perfect appearance, before she loses everything that makes her family so special?

By the time she hit her teens, Susie Bower had lived in 8 houses and attended 7 schools. This theme continued in her working life: she's been a teacher, a tour-guide, a typist, a workshop facilitator, a PA and a painter. She formerly wrote and directed TV programmes for children at the BBC and Channel 4, for which she won a BAFTA Award, and she currently writes audio scripts. School for Nobodies, The Three Impossibles and Shoo! are also available from Pushkin Children's. Susie lives in Devon.
