Wild & Woolly

Alice likes her life exactly the way it is. At home she has Mumsie, and at boarding school she has her alien-obsessed best friend and roommate Sally, and she doesn’t see why anything should have to change. Then – everything starts to. Sally decides that Alice needs to have an adventure and signs them up for a school trip: a week of archery, raft building, and zip-wiring (with the chance of alien watching) in the great outdoors. Alice doesn’t see what’s so great about it, especially when she finds out Nadia her once best friend turned enemy who never misses the chance to torment her, is also signed up for the trip. But now she has bigger issues. What began months ago as a small white lie is about to become a BIG problem and Alice only has five days to fix her mistake – before the truth gets out. What more could possibly go wrong?

Louise Cooper grew up in a small village in South Yorkshire, where she still lives with her family. After deciding she wanted to be a writer as soon as she learnt to hold a pen, she spent years scribbling down any and all stories that came into her head. After graduating with a degree in creative writing from the Open College of the Arts (now a part of the Open University) in 2021, she thought it was time to share her stories with others. A recent first-time plant parent, when she isn’t busy writing, Louise can usually be found indulging in her love of video games and board games.
