Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure. Rosie Jones
  • Rosie Jones will publish three further children's books across the next 18 months
  • A third Edie Eckhart novel is set for publication in August 2023, and a fourth next year
  • February 2024 will see the release of a non-fiction "school survival guide", Moving On Up

Stand-up comic Rosie Jones is to publish three further children's books with Hodder.

A third installment in her Edie Eckhart series of comic novels will be released this August, following 2021's acclaimed The Amazing Edie Eckhart and 2022's The Amazing Edie Eckhart: The Big Trip.

The books follow a young girl during her first years at secondary school. Like Jones, the eponymous Eckhart has cerebral palsy and is learning to navigate a much more adult world with her disability.

A fourth Edie Eckhart adventure will follow in August 2024. Exact publication dates and titles have yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, next February will see the publication of Rosie Jones's first non-fiction work.

Moving On Up is subtitled "Beat the bullies, make fearless friendships and deal with funny fails", and the publishers promise the "ultimate school survival guide for 9 to 11-year-olds".

They explain: "No one knows quite as much about friendship fails, facing bullies, and being totally embarrassed than comedian Rosie Jones. You name a completely awkward situation, and she's been there, got the t-shirt, and probably done it all again. Rosie knows exactly how you can care less about the things that get you down, and more about the things you care about. This reassuring and feisty guide to big changes and moving schools will help all readers to find themselves and enjoy the changes."

Rosie Jones - The Amazing Edie Eckhart

By Rosie Jones

"Hello! My name is Edie Eckhart and I'm eleven years old. I'm a little bit different. I have a disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It's never really bothered me because I've never known anything else."

Edie Eckhart is Excited with a capital E to start secondary school with her best friend Oscar - the fish to her chips, the bananas to her custard. But when she and Oscar are put into different tutor groups on their first day, Edie is devastated. Who will play secret hangman with her in class? Who will she eat sausage rolls with?

But while she's plotting her reunion with Oscar, she accidentally gets cast as the lead in the school play. As Edie discovers a passion for performance, she also finds new friendships, talents, and dreams. After all, it's easy to shine on and off the stage when you're Amazing with a capital A.

Rosie Jones - The Amazing Edie Eckhart: The Big Trip

By Rosie Jones

Edie Eckhart is getting used to life at secondary school. It's going well so far - she's found a brand new friendship group and has the best form tutor EVER.

But then the school organises a camping trip.... complete with muddy walks and team games. It is a DISASTER. The only fun bit is sitting by the fire and telling stories.

On top of that Edie is trying to figure out where she fits in: do you have to define all friendships? And can you be a writer AND a performer, or do you have to choose between the two?

Luckily Edie decides to take back control of the school trip... and in so doing, she discovers that you never have to define yourself. You are AMAZING just the way you are!
