It's not easy when you come from Somewhere Else. Especially when you smell of trains and fish. When Mr Blanket lost his job in the city and couldn't find it again,it seemed like things would never get better. 'I wish,' said Dottie, closing her eyes and trying her hardest not to wobble, 'that I lived on a bright green hilltop!' Suddenly, her wish comes true! Mr Blanket gets a new job in The Middle of Nowhere. Dottie soon finds that The Hilltop is the Middle of Somewhere as she gets to meet Winnie Crisp, Tom Tractor, Blod Evans, the Rowland twins and the Fidgets. And on the Hilltop she doesn't need wishes, because the magic happens on its own.

Wendy Meddour's debut novel, A Hen in the Wardrobe,was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award, selected as one of the Guardian's 'Outstanding Children's Books of the Year' and won the John C Laurence Award for writing that 'improves relations between the races'. Wendy has also written the much-loved Wendy Quill series. Like Dottie, these books are illustrated by her 13-year-old daughter, Mina May - whose debut: Wendy Quill is a Crocodile's Bottom was described as a 'visual inspiration' by The Bookseller. Though she left the hilltops to acquire a doctorate and teach English at Oxford University, she still loves to visit.
