Product description

Superstar TV presenter and bestselling author Alesha Dixon is back with a hilarious story of sisterhood and strong girls! Pearl moves into 10 Downing Street when her mum Patrice becomes the UK’s first Black female Prime Minister. A chance meeting with Patrice’s childhood sweetheart Jackson and suddenly Pearl’s glam new life has an unexpected gatecrasher: Jackson’s daughter Izzy. Pearl and Izzy loathe each other on sight and have only one thing in common: a desire to split their parents up. They play loud music which interrupts important meetings, swap confidential documents for silly notes and skateboard through Number Ten knocking over the President of the United States. But as Patrice’s popularity in the polls begins to decline as a result of the girls’ out-of-control sabotaging, will they realise that they are stronger as team?

From the bestselling author of the LIGHTNING GIRL series and STAR SWITCH

Smart, funny and starring wonderfully real and relatable characters

For anyone who dreams of being a Girl Boss

Our August 2021 Ages 9-10 Book of the Month

For our August 9+ Book of the Month I have chosen Alesha’s Dixon new standalone novel Girls Rule. Pearl is so ready for her glam new life as her mum Patrice becomes the UK’s first Black female Prime Minister and they move into 10 Downing Street. However when Patrice rekindles with her childhood sweetheart Jackson, suddenly Pearl’s life has an unexpected gatecrasher: Jackson’s daughter Izzy. Pearl and Izzy loathe each other and have only one thing in common: a desire to split their parents up. They play loud music which interrupts important meetings, swap confidential documents for silly notes and skateboard through Number Ten knocking over the President of the United States. But as Patrice’s popularity in the polls begins to decline as a result of the girls’ out-of-control sabotaging, will they realise that they are stronger as team?

Girls Rule is a hilarious story of sisterhood and strong girls, perfect for anyone who dreams of being a girl boss. Superstar TV presenter Alesha Dixon started writing her bestselling series Lightning Girl as she wanted books that her daughter could see herself reflected in and would inspire her. This book continues to represent not only black girls, but blended families, and what can be more inspirational than the UK’s first Black female Prime Minister?! Perfect for fans of Dork Diaries and David Baddiel.
