It Wasn't Me!

Funny, heartwarming and full of charm, It Wasn't Me! is the hotly-anticipated new title from CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal nominee and BookTrust Time to Read favourite, Marta Altes.

Meet Ellis and Charlie: two friends, living happily on their very own island. Everything they do, they do together, and everything they have, they share. Until, that is, things start to go missing . . .

NOBODY is owning up and NOBODY is happy about it. But if it isn't Ellis and it isn't Charlie, then WHO IS IT?

A hilarious and heartwarming tale that shows that even the firmest of friends sometimes fall out - but not, usually, for very long!
