Lily Max

Come along on the continuing upbeat adventures of Lily Max in her second book -

Lily Max Slope Style

I know I know, my first book is not even available in papery book format yet. Man those publishers take forever deciding. But Jane says, once Lily Max gets the snaffle between her teeth, she just won't be reined in. And when Gustav, the famous Russian Animator heard my new story, he just had to do another portrait of me. So here it is...

If you're quick, you would have already worked out that this book is about me, learning to SKI, in capital letters. Because I'm very excellent at cart-wheeling, you'd think I'd take to skiing like a frog leaping around a lily pond. Wrong. Plus you'd think, because I'm head fashionista of the school, I'd be in the latest seasons ski gear. Wrong again. You see, I have never in my life been taken skiing - so I cannot ski! And my parents are not rich and famous, so never buy me all the brand new items I need. And I need cool ski gear, because school skiing starts next week.

I have to look good (even if I can't stand up for falling over). Only I'm about to commit a humungous fashion faux-pas. Oh yes, I'm about to hit the slopes in, head to toe, school-spares-cupboard, navy blue. Now navy blue is fine if you're a granny wearing slacks. But I am not. So I was planning to pretend I'd sprained my ankle when....

The telephone tring-alings and Angelica and I get asked to do a, collection of kids ski wear, for the Winter Festival Charity Fashion Parade. We're only allowed to spend 100 buckeroos, so mum drags us to the op-shop, and we discover retro ski fashion is where it's at. I mean hey, check out these hot yellow pants I'm wearing. Who cares about the face plant (take a look), I'll make the race team yet.

Or will she? We'll let you know what happens as soon as we know!
