How To Be More Hedgehog

Description

Lily has a stammer. The signal between her brain and her mouth is all messed up – and it’s getting worse. When a video of her practicing her class presentation is uploaded onto You

Tube – head thrust forward, eyelids fluttering, lips stretched wide – Lily’s nightmare begins. Cyberbullying, kids at school whispering, even best friend Mia laughing behind her back. Lily’s confidence takes a nose-dive and she can only see one way out: run away to Dad in Scotland and start all over again.

But Lily quickly realises that running away isn’t the answer – that her stammer will follow her wherever she goes…

HOW TO BE MORE HEDGEHOG is about friendship and family and finding the courage to speak out.
