The Big Trip

Edie Eckhart is getting used to life at secondary school. It’s going well so far – she’s bagged her first ever girlfriend, a new friendship group and she has the best form tutor EVER. But then the school organises a camping trip complete with muddy walks and team games. It is a DISASTER. The only fun bit is sitting by the fire and telling stories. On top of that Edie is trying to figure out where she fits in: can you be a girlfriend AND someone’s friend, a writer AND a performer, or do you have to choose between the two? Luckily Edie decides to take back control of the school trip and in so doing, she discovers that you never have to define yourself. You are AMAZING just the way you are!

'Fresh, funny and ultra cool' - Jacqueline Wilson

Hi! I'm Edie Eckhart. I'm a little bit different. I have a disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It's never really bothered me because I've never known anything else.

This term, Edie Eckhart has A LOT on her mind:

'Why am I the only one who doesn't know what to be when I grow up? Why am I the only one worried about going on the school drama trip? And why am I the only one who thinks eating 21 Brussels sprouts at once is YUMMY?'

Life's confusing questions are making Edie wonder if she REALLY knows who she REALLY is. Will Edie realise it's OK not to have ALL the answers ALL of the time ... and just BE EDIE?
