What Lexie Did
Lexie lives in London with her colourful Greek-Cypriot family.
She’s devoted to her fragile cousin of the same age, Eleni, who has a heart condition. But after the death of their grandmother, Lexie tells a terrible, instinctive, jealous lie about an heirloom necklace, a lie that splits the family apart. It’s up to her to bring the family back together … but after such a lie, can she find a way to tell the truth?
The fantastic new novel from the acclaimed author of Dream on, Amber and Dara Palmer's Major Drama.

But Amber has one thing on her side: she's a girl with a BIG imagination ...
