It Wasn't Me! (Paperback) - Marta Altes

A fun and reassuring tale of friendship, falling out and forgiveness and a joyful reminder of the important things in life, from BookTrust Time to Read favourite, Marta Altes.

Hilarious, heartwarming and full of charm, It Wasn't Me! is a fun and reassuring tale of friendship, falling out and forgiveness from CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal nominee and BookTrust Time to Read favourite, Marta Altes.

Meet Ellis and Charlie: two friends, living happily on their very own island. Everything they do, they do together, and everything they have, they share. Until, that is, things start to go missing . . .
NOBODY is owning up and NOBODY is happy about it. But if it isn't Ellis and it isn't Charlie, then WHO IS IT?

Children will love spotting the real culprit in this funny and engaging tale, which shows that even the firmest of friends sometimes fall out - but not, usually, for very long!
