When Sylvia and her old nurse Nana agree to keep house for Gum, they know they will be looking after his fossil collection while his away on his travels. But imagine their surprise when one day he brings them something else - three baby girls whose names all being with 'P'! Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil are not really sisters - even their surname is invented. The girls decide to 'put our name in the history books because it's our very own', and enrol at the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. Each Fossil uses her individual talents to achieve their joint aim in this captivating story, now a modern children's classic.

Reviews

These girls are good role models for tweenies and the stories are just right for the generation that might not yet want to tackle the gritty nature of Jacqueline Wilson books

—— Birmingham Post

Another great book by Dhami . . . Readers will find it a funny, entertaining and pleasurable read

—— Shehrazade Emmambokus , writeaway.org.uk

A marvellous read ... that refuels the desire for justice and freedom

—— Jon Snow

Sometimes you have to break the rules, particularly when those rules are based on prejudice. Naidoo breaks the rules, producing books for young people which recognize that they want to know about the real world

—— Guardian

Genuinely enlightening ... gently moves the reader through areas that are hard to think about.
