Lightning Girl

The first book in a laugh-out-loud, high-voltage, action-packed

adventure series for 8+ readers from hugely popular TV

personality, Alesha Dixon, written in collaboration with Katy Birchall.

10-year-old Aurora Beam lives at home with her utterly unremarkable

family - until the day she sees her little sister being picked

on in the playground and suddenly beams of light shoot

out of her fingers!

It’s time for her parents to drop a life-changing bombshell.

Mum is a secret superhero, fighting crime across the globe while

Dad looks after the kids at home.

As Aurora’s own powers come into play, will she be able to balance

her new super skills training with school?

Will she be able to keep it all a secret from her friends?

And when her mum’s evil twin pops up, will Aurora think that being

a super VILLAIN might be more fun…?

Laughs on every page

fantastically funny illustrations throughout

Alesha Dixon says:

My inspiration to create a superhero called Lightning Girl

began with wanting my young daughter to feel empowered.

It’s been a dream to create a strong role model that any child

can look up to - I want my readers to see themselves in Aurora,

who is dealing with trouble at home and trouble at school alongside

her new powers.

I also have a love of precious stones and their healing properties;

I have always been fascinated with their spectacular colours

and the positive energy that they bring.

As human beings we are always searching for something greater

within ourselves and a deeper meaning to life and it’s my belief

that we all have a light within us that can affect change and

bring good to the world… we just have to harness it! :) Enter

Aurora Beam!
