A funny, big-hearted novel about loving yourself for
being exactly who you are!
When a mega-famous pop group announces a competition
for fans to be part of their next music video, Erin decides
to go for it. She wants to show her younger brother
that in life, there are no limits - even if you don't
look like most other kids.
But making an audition video is proving more difficult than Erin
expected; it's almost like her best friend is trying to ruin
it! And when an opportunity comes up that might increase
her chances, Erin begins to wonder: can she stay true to
herself and pursue her dreams?
Erin's character is inspired by co-author Cara Mailey, who has
achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism) and was featured
on CBBC's documentary "My Life: Made to Measure" and BBC One's
"Keeping Up with the Maileys"
Co-author Chrissie Sains is also the author of An Alien In
the Jam Factory
Perfect for fans of The Amazing Edie Eckhart by Rosie
Jones, A Kind of Spark and Can You See Me?
PRIASE FOR I GOT THIS
"One of the manifest strengths of this novel is the way telling
details about achondroplasia are mentioned in the most natural
and unforced way [...] It is an impressive accomplishment for
these two authors (Mailey herself has achondroplasia) to have produced
a work of seamless integrity, a work which leaves the reader
aching for Erin to find her place" - Books For Keeps
"I Got This is not just about life with achondroplasia,
it’s about how limitless life can be with positivity,
empathy, and support from the people who love us." -
