My Big Fat Hairy Lies

Autumn Day gets teased a lot. The kids at school call her Summer, Winter and Spring. But worse are the names Flame Brain, Carrot Top and Tomato Head. Life can be hard when you're a kid, but it's definitely harder when you're a red-haired drama queen called Autumn Day. Today is her 9th birthday and Autumn, so desperate to be accepted and win over Aimee as her best friend, has told everyone (including 'mean girl' Sophie) she's getting a pink phone - the latest and greatest that does everything! But what if she doesn't? When Autumn's lies start spinning out of control she realises she has a lot of growing up to do. 'The Adventures of Autumn Day: My Big Fat Hairy Lies', illustrated by Amy Borrell, is Melinda Wills McHugh's first novel and the first in The Adventures of Autumn Day series.
