about the author

Born and raised in the southern suburbs of Sydney, Australia, Helena Louise Stevens moved to the picturesque Blue Mountains, just two hours west of Sydney, in 2006. Using her beautiful and tranquil surroundings as inspiration, she developed the main character based on her own daughter, who now lives in Melbourne. She likes to keep the KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid – principle for everything, because life complicates itself.

about the book

A seven-year-old girl, with nothing particularly interesting about her, moves into a new house, in a new town, and goes to a new school. Xanthia experiences all the problems and traumas that come along with starting a new life with people who don’t care to know anything about her: bullying, feeling left out, and having to find strength to be on her own. But Xanthia is already strong without realising it. Not afraid of her feelings, she shares her problems with her mother who offers her a simple solution which, for Xanthia, is the answer to everything. Her newfound interest makes Xanthia feel so good, that all the taunts and jeers from the other children do not matter. She has found a part of herself that makes her heart sing, but best of all, she finds something else she could never have imagined, a new BFF – Best Friend Forever.
