Tess’s new school seems okay, until a spiteful bully makes Tess’s school life a living hell. Tess must learn a new way to look after herself – and wait until the moment that she can get her own back. Badger’s Full Flight Girl Power is a series of 10 girl-centred stories aimed specifically at a female audience. They are reluctant readers with a reading age of 7.5-8.5 but include characters and storylines that would appeal to an interest age of 8-14. The female protagonists are relatable and the stories are varied and thoughtful, including issues surrounding friends, family and bullying, with narratives about snowboarding, judo, fashion, dance, rock climbing, mysteries and supernatural peril.
