If you could be anything what would you be?
10 year old Amy Bloomsy would be a GOAT.
After a chance meeting with a high-spirited, French speaking goat called Õogly, Amy rejects her human life and adopts one of a goat. As a goat she’s free to be herself; she can sleep in the garden, chew the kitchen curtains, and demand all meals be thrown on the floor, where she'd prefer to eat them.
But not everyone is tolerant of this new goat lifestyle. Unhinged teachers and parents care what the neighbours think so take it upon themselves to control Amy the Goat, desperate to make her conform (and stop walking on all fours…).
Can Amy ever truly be herself and perfect the cry of a goat?
Will crazed headmistress, Mrs Moopleton catch Amy and paint her in lifeless, grey paint?
Will Colin ever control his sneezes knowing there’s a goat sleeping in his daughters bedroom?
Will Amy be forced to give up her happiness and new goat friends?
Don't miss this incredibly high-spirited, HILARIOUS debut novel from British author ‘Louiseee with three e’s’ teaching children about difference within society, acceptance…oh, and goats.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
New London-based children’s author Louiseee with three e’s has launched her debut book Amy the G.O.A.T in time for Children’s Book Week next month. The highly topical, light-hearted story charts the life of an awkward young girl who is grappling with her identity.
With fun illustrations by Rob Page, the entertaining story will captivate middle and upper primary children as the main character grapples with life walking on all fours after she decides to identify as a farm animal.
This book sees Louiseee with three e’s fulfil her lifelong ambition to pen a children’s book. She commented: “After completing a masters in scriptwriting, I knew I wanted to pour all my spare time into penning stories for children. My two nieces, aged five and seven, read the manuscript and their feedback was incredible. They both loved the silliness of it all. At a time when everything in society is under the microscope, I enjoy writing stories that reflect topical debates and my view on reality. Amy the G.O.A.T is a playful exploration of a serious subject that will hopefully offer insight into the
knotty world of identity.”
Available as a paperback and e-book on Kindle.
