Jemima Small Versus the Universe
Jemima Small is funny and super smart. She knows a lot of things. Like the fact that she’s made of 206 bones, over 600 muscles and trillions of cells. What she doesn’t know is how that can be true and yet she can still feel like nothing… or how being made to join the school’s “special” healthy lifestyle group – A.K.A Fat Club – could feel any less special, and make her question her dream of applying for her favourite TV quiz show. But she also knows that the biggest stars in the universe are the brightest. And maybe it’s her time to shine…
A brilliantly funny and touching new novel exploring bullying, body confidence and, most importantly, learning how to be happy with who you are.
“I absolutely loved this bold, big-hearted and very necessary book.”
Fiona Noble, The Bookseller (Children’s Book of the Month | July 2019)
“A clear-sighted look at censorious attitudes to larger bodies – especially girls’ bodies… Drily funny, this touching book gives its readers permission to take up space.”
The Guardian
