When animal-loving Lulu’s family go on holiday to the seaside, the last thing they expect to find is a stray dog living on the beach.

And that he’s been waiting for someone just like her… Meet the irrepressible Lulu and all her animal friends in this heart-warming series for younger readers, written by the bestselling author of the Casson Family novels.

Hilary McKay

Hilary McKay was born in Boston, Lincolnshire and is the eldest of four girls. From a very early age she read voraciously and grew up in a household of readers. Hilary says of herself as a child “I anaesthetised myself against the big bad world with large doses of literature. The local library was as familiar to me as my own home.”

After reading Botany and Zoology at St. Andrew’s University Hilary then went on to work as a biochemist in an Analysis Department. Hilary enjoyed the work but at the same time had a burning desire to write. After the birth of her two children, Hilary wanted to devote more time to bringing up her children and writing so decided to leave her job.

One of the best things about being a writer, says Hilary, is receiving letters from children. She wishes that she had written to authors as a child, but it never occurred to her to contact them!

Hilary has written many books but is probably best known for the award-winning Casson family series.

Hilary now lives in a small village in Derbyshire with her family. When not writing Hilary loves walking, reading, and having friends to stay.

When I first saw the book I thought that it was going to be good because I like dogs. From the very first page I thought Lulu and Mellie were nice. I liked that Mellie and Lulu had lots of pets. I liked it when the dog from the sea knocked the bins over and made a mess. I did not like it when the dog catchers where trying to get the dog from the sea. I liked the end because it was a very happy ending. I think everyone who likes animals and a happy ending would like this book.
