The exciting new Jelly Pie series of books for girls from Marianne Levy about a little film star with a big personality.

Dear Everybody,

I'm an incredibly famous film star! I get to sign autographs and be in magazines and I have my very own chaperone, Jeffrey, to look after me. Hooray! But I am also a very serious person. I love nature. I have a bag decorated with butterflies. Did you know that butterflies turn into caterpillars? Amazingly amazing! And that's why I'm helping to save a nature reserve. I've never saved anything before, but it can't be very hard . . . can it?

Love, Ellie May xxx

Marianne Levy Before she started writing books, Marianne Levy was an actress. Not the incredibly famous sort, though. After graduating from Cambridge University she appeared in a few TV shows and did a bit of comedy on Radio 4. She has been in one film, in which she managed to forget both her lines. Since then, Marianne has written for The Story of Tracy Beaker, introduced America's Next Top Model and been the voice of a yogurt. She lives in London, and spends her spare time eating cheese and hassling other people's dogs.
