Lilac Blue Christine Doran

'So there's a bit of a war going on at the moment. Boys against girls. You know how it is.' Sometimes you want to solve the world's really big problems. Other times it's hard enough to solve the problems you caused when you were trying to solve those first ones. Lilac is reading her granny's recently discovered diary hoping for comfort and guidance, but what she finds there raises more questions than it answers. Was Granny really a spy? Who was the man with the fascinating eyebrows? And what's the story with all the pineapples? Lilac Blue is the third book in the Lilac the Girl series, a quirky-sweet insight into the trials and tribulations of an Irish schoolgirl and her friends and family, for independent readers aged 9 to 12 and up.
