Pip sees herself at school as a bit of a zebra—she doesn't want to stand out and always tries to follow the unwritten rules of popularity. Luckily, her best friend Cato is pretty much the leader of the class. So when a spot opens up in Cato's girl gang, Cheese4, Pip simply has to join. There's just one problem: she can't dance! Then a new boy arrives in class who can dance. And he's definitely not a zebra. More like a unicorn...

  'I can't wait for the next book in the series.'

  '[Pip's] disarmingly honest take on all the drama and unwritten rules of the classroom will strike a chord with young readers. And what a breath of fresh air it is to see Pip discover—and share—the idea that everyone has their own truth.
  The cheerful, playful illustrations and cartoon-style artwork flow naturally alongside the story, making the book especially inviting for younger or less confident readers.
  I'm certain Pip is going to win many hearts, so it's wonderful that this is only the first book in a brand-new series!'
