When Bill Simpson woke up on Monday morning, he found he was a girl... Forced off to school in a frilly pink dress, Bill discovers one of the worst days in his life is about to begin.
Baffled by the way things are just different for girls, Bill falls headlong into trouble. As the amazing day drags on, Bill's new frock becomes dirtier and tattier. How will it all end for him -- or her?
"Stylishly written and thought-provoking"
The Guardian
"A gloriously feminist romp ... the result is a gem. Don't miss it."
Chris Powling, the Times Educational Supplement
Bill's New Frock, for children in the middle age range, was first published in 1989, and reissued by Egmont in a new edition on 1 August 2002; Anne Fine has written about the changes she made to update that edition in an article explaining to parents and teachers why she has been modifying some of her books in later editions. Bill's New Frock was again reissued as one of a collection of updated editions in June 2007.
