Congratulations to Lizzie Chantree on publication day of Ninja School Mum. I'm particularly excited about this book as I'm organising a book tour or the book in March and I just know the internet is going to be buzzing about the book! If you'd like to take part in the tour which is running from 5th - 9th March then just drop me an email to brookbooks@hotmail.co.uk for further details! Now, lets find out a bit more about this fab book!
Obsessive-compulsive school mum, Skye, is a
lonely elite spy, who is running from her past whilst trying to protect the
future of her child. She tries hard to fit in with the other parents at her
son’s new school, but the only person who accepts her unconventional way of
life is new mother, Thea.
Thea is feeling harassed by her sister and bored with her life, but she suspects that there is something strange about the new school mum, Skye. Thea has secrets of her own and, although the two become unlikely friends, she hesitates to tell Skye about the father of her own child.
Zack’s new business is growing faster than he could have dreamed but, suddenly, he finds himself the owner of a crumbling estate on the edge of a pretty village, and a single parent to a very demanding child. Could he make a go of things and give his daughter the life she deserved?
When three lives collide, it appears that only one of them is who they seem to be, and you never know who the person next to you in the school playground really is.

EXTRACT
Skye tapped her feet impatiently as she looked
at the ominous grey clouds hovering above the playground and tried to rein in
the anger she could feel blazing in her chest. She had learned the skill of
outwardly controlling her emotions and appearing like she hadn’t a care in the
world long ago, but if her son came out of school crying because a more
boisterous kid had poured water on his head, or scribbled all over his
carefully written work again, then she would struggle not to pick the culprit
up by his leg and throw him into the neatly manicured flowerbeds that
surrounded the glossy green windowsills of the school building.
She noticed
the quiet red-haired woman who was sitting on a nearby bench, glancing
longingly at the same group of school mums again. They were all huddled
together like a rugby scrum, chatting busily about their day. Skye wondered why
the redhead didn’t get up and join them if she wanted to be part of the group so
badly, but she could tell from the woman’s body language that it was never
going to happen. She obviously lacked the confidence or courage to break into
such a tight-knit group of friends.
A
movement to Skye’s left caught her eye and she noticed the woman with the mop
of curly hair and inquisitive eyes watching her again. She was frowning in
concentration before realising that she had been spotted and seamlessly blended
back into the throng of people waiting for their children to appear.
