About the Author:

Helen Bailey was born and brought up in Northumberland, a county she always regarded as home.

Barely into her teens, Helen invested her pocket money in buying a copy of The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook and spent the next few years sending short stories and poems to anyone she could think of. Much to her surprise, she sometimes found herself in print.

After a degree in science, Helen worked in the media, running a successful London-based character licensing agency handling internationally renowned properties such as Snoopy, Felicity Wishes, Dilbert and Zorro.

Helen died in 2016, leaving behind a significant body of work. She is best known for her Electra Brown series, of which the first is 'Life in the Shallow End'.

Review:

[an] enjoyable blend of humour and moral message. * Carousel * Light, glossy and generously sprinkled with wry humour. * Books For Keeps * A very good read. * Bookbag * "We love her!" * Mizz on Electra Brown * One for all teenage girls to read (Out of My Depth). I highly recommend it! * Kirsty Scard, Waterstone's, Alton * Electra is a really likeable character with a great outlook on life. She feels very believable, and even though she still worries about the shallow things in life, the larger things also get to her. * Write Away website * A humorous, light-hearted story with funny, real and SHALLOW characters (Taking the Plunge). A must read! * Hannah, 12, Chicklish website * Daisy's fall from rich bitch to victim is wholly believable and her fight-back quite wonderful * The BookBag * Enjoyable blend of humour and moral message * Carousel * An easy but memorable read * Book Review Magazine *
