The Butterfly Club

"We're triplets. Surprise! Everyone thinks I'm the little sister. It's very annoying."

Phil, Maddie and Tina are triplets, but Tina has always been the little one. Luckily, Phil and Maddie always protect Tina - they make the best team.

But, when they join super-strict Miss Lovejoy's class, they're split up.

And Tina has to fend for herself for the first time.

To make things worse, Tina has been paired up with class bully, Selma, who NO ONE wants to be friends with.

When Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn't always need her sisters - and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye.

A heartwarming story about friendship, bullying and confidence by bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson.

She should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance. - Independent on Sunday

Reviews

The Puffin Classics series is a perfect marriage of the old and the new. Enjoy some of the best books from the past and find out why and how they inspired some of the best writers of the present

—— Julia Eccleshare , Lovereading4kids

A remarkable feat . . . Compelling

—— Guardian

Disturbingly vivid, utterly readable and appealing to audiences of all ages

—— The Bookbag

There is a sureness and a simplicity to the writing that is very impressive . . . In The Boy at the Top of the Mountain, Boyne has delivered a powerful account of how one boy was seduced by Hitler and Nazism and paid the price. The final pages, in which he meets the Jewish friend of his boyhood and seeks redemption, are very moving. Younger readers will lament the corruption of Pierrot; older ones will perceive what Boyne is trying to tell us: if this could happen to Pierrot, it could happen to us

—— Irish Independent

An affecting morality tale . . . It is the chilling portrayal of adolescent corruption and atonement that lingers

—— Daily Mail

Forceful . . . Reminding us that silence and compromise can foster their own overwhelming guilt

—— Australian

Exciting and thought-provoking . . . An excellent novel

—— Star, Malaysia

With his perfect pacing, lack of sentimentality and refusal to submit to a neat end, Boyne has written one of the children’s books of the year

—— The Times

A powerful new novel from the author of the highly acclaimed The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and it is equally atmospheric and disturbing . . . Mesmerizing

—— Parents in Touch

Another winner

—— Glasgow Sunday Herald

Compelling and thought-provoking

—— Teach Primary

What a fantastic job Adel Geras has done bringing these characters to life

—— Sarah's Book Reviews

Full of suspense and the characters were written so well that you were really pulled into their lives

—— Chrissie's Corner

The book comes billed as "a passionate tale of love, betrayal and revenge" - and it is indeed, an excellent, intelligent read which will stretch minds just as it will stretch vocabularies. It is vivid in the world it creates, intriguing as it takes you there and satisfying when it leaves you

—— Chichester Today

Adele Geras gave us brilliant evocations of the ancient world with Troy and Ithaka. With Dido she again takes a classical setting and story and breathes freshness, and above all an up-to-date connection, into the people and the places whilst skilfully remaining faithful to her sources
