Hi Everyone,
If you receive my newsletter you’ll already know that I’m running a competition this month (August) and I will extend it to September (as Book Week tends to be celebrated at different times in Term 3).
This year there are three categories! Best Alice-Miranda characters dress up, Best Clemmie characters dress up and Best other characters (that means you can dress up as anyone from any book). Just a tip – you could be one of Alice-Miranda’s friends or Clemmie’s friends too – anyone from those series’.
The prizes will be awesome (including new books and other things you can’t buy in the shops!).
So, no matter who you’ve dressed up as for Book Week – get those entries in! To enter you need to sign up to the newsletter which you can do on the home page of the website and the entry details will be on the newsletter that will come to you shortly after you sign up.
Best of luck (and remember you can dress up at home if your school isn’t celebrating with a Book Parade).
Jacqueline Harvey xx

I’m currently reading Alice-Miranda in Hollywood, and I adore how Hollywood’s paparazzo, Tyger Lombardi’s favourite author is ‘J L Harvey’! Her favourite author’s name almost shares the same name as MY favourite author!
Love you Jacqueline! xx
Where did you get it?!!!
I won it in the May newsletter competition!
Wow! Lucky You!
Thank you! You should give it a shot, you never know, you might end up winning something! 🙂
hey guys, just wondering if you know of an alice miranda 17?????
thanks, eloise
Hi Eloise,
Alice-Miranda 17 is the next book after Alice-Miranda in Hollywood. I have some ideas swirling around in my head but suspect, that Alice-Miranda and her friends will be catching up with some old favourites.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hey there
Are we allowed to send multiple entries the competition?
In what shops will I find Alice Miranda in Hollywood when it is released?
It depends on where you live, but i went to the local pharmacy today!!!!! i just finished it-i could not put it down!!!
It was released in may or something.
What was released in May?
Clementine Rose and the Wedding Wobbles was relesed in may and AM in Hollywood is going to be relesed on the 1st of September. Some stores already have it in stock though.
Which stores already have Alice Miranda in Hollywood? I really looking forward to reading it.
Hi Tamara,
Alice-Miranda in Hollywood should be widely available by now! Hope that you enjoy it and, be sure to keep an eye on the events tab of my website, there are some exciting red carpet launch celebrations planned for Sydney and Melbourne.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hey there
Why can’t there be an event overseas or in UAE or Pakistan
Hi Kanita,
As a writer, I do travel quite a bit. I love getting out to meet the amazing fans who inspire me to write the stories. As my writing schedule has been super busy this year, I have not travelled overseas as I usually do.
Never say never, but there are no plans at this stage to visit UAE or Pakistan.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
thanks i’ll try to dress up too!
Jacqueline can you please post the winner?
And I love your books. I dressed up as Alice Miranda on holiday.
Hi Tamara,
You’ll see that I extended the date for the August competition until the end of September as there were lots of schools still celebrating until the end of the term. You’ll have to be patient.
Thanks for entering.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi miss Harvey,
I love your books, I dressed up as Alice-Miranda in The palace for book week my friends say I look exactly like her! Please keep writing your awesome books! I’ve read all of them and I can’t wait to get Alice-Miranda in Hollywood!
love, Bethany
Hi Bethany,
That sounds amazing – did you enter the newsletter competition? I’ve extended the August competition until the end of September as there are lots of schools still celebrating Book Week right until the end of term. Hope you enjoy Hollywood.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Dear Ms Harvey,
I am enjoying your books thoroughly, and i love dressing up. Do you have any ideas for the next Alice Miranda or Clementine Rose book? I was thinking of maybe having Alice Miranda or Clementine Rose in Holland. I will always love your books
Love From Jaida oxx.
Hi Jaida,
I could certainly see Alice-Miranda and Clemmie in Holland- thank you for being so interested and taking the time to let me know your ideas.
I have quite a few ideas swirling around in my head for both of the girls’ next adventures; but Kensy and Max is front and centre in my mind at the moment. I suspect that some old favourite characters might make an appearance in Alice-Miranda 17.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi Jaqueline, I’m a huge fan of yours. I have written a story similar like Alice-Miranda, is that OK? Thanks if it is!
Hello,
What are you using the story for? If you’ve written it for school or for your own enjoyment then that’s no problem at all.Thanks for your kind words and I hope that you continue to enjoy the stories.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi Booker,
Thank you for the compliment. It’s ok to write a story similar to Alice-Miranda as long as you don’t have it published:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Which shop do I go to get ‘Alice Miranda in Hollywood’?
I live in Australia and I could only find it in BigW
Yes Big W has Alice-Miranda and so do lots of other bookshops but it depends where you live as to where is the easiest place to get the books. Booktopia is an online bookshop in Australia you can purchase them through as well.
Any good book shops or Big W or online booksellers like Booktopia 🙂
Hi Tamara,
Alice-Miranda in Hollywood should be widely available at loads of bookshops or online, on sites such as Booktopia.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Thanks!
OMG!
i finished Alice-Miranda in Hollywood in half an hour and Omg!
I want to kill Caprice so badly!
no t gonna give any spoilers, but arghhhhh!
bye!
Glad you enjoyed the story Taylah and thanks for not giving anything away!
What did Caprice do?
When I signed up, I didn’t really receive a welcome message. I just received the august newsletter about a week after I signed up.
Yeah it is ok now, I didn’t get the welcome message but I got the newsletter!!
That’s Great!
Great – sometimes there is a little delay between signing up and receiving the newsletter as it’s not a fully automated process yet.
Hope you enjoy the newsletter.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
I am so dressing up.
I don’t have anything that is like Alice-Miranda but I do have something like Clementine Rose are you allowed to dress up as Clementine Rose if you are actually much older than her because she is 7 ish maybe or 6. But I am 11 so I was wondering if I am allowed?
From Grace
Yes please dress up – you still have a few days until the end of the month to submit your entry. I look forward to it.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi
A comment from your biggest fan. I think Jacinta needs to be in the book more.
What’s your next book with the adventures of Alice-Miranda?
From your biggest fan
Ava
Hi Ava,
I get a lot of requests for more Jacinta. I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure what the next Alice-Miranda book will be called but I have the idea for the story. I’ll let you know as soon as I have it sorted out!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi
I am a major fan of the Alice-Miranda series. I have made the start of an Alice-Miranda story. I hope that’s ok It’s about Alice-Miranda waking up on Christmas and finding a puppy
From your biggest fan
Ava
That sounds like a fun story Ava. Alice-Miranda loves puppies!
Thanks for replying. I thought you’d never reply. Best wishes for your next Alice-Miranda book
Thanks
Love your biggest fan Ava
No problem at all, Ava!
Thank you for your good wishes and for taking the time to write on the blog!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hello Ms Harvey
I’m a huge fan of Alice-Miranda. At our school we will have a book week and we will dress up as book characters. How do you dress up Jacinta?
Your biggest fan ever,
Tazmeen <3
Hi Tazmeen,
Jacinta has long blonde hair and you could either go for something sporty like her gymnastics gear or something casual or maybe even a ball dress like she wears in Alice-Miranda at the Palace. I can’t remember off the top of my head what hers looked like so you’d have to do a bit of research. You could even do a school uniform like Alice-Miranda’s on the cover of At School as she goes to the same place. Good luck and don’t forget to enter the August newsletter competition!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hi
I have an idea for your next Alice Miranda book. She can go to Australia and go there for a camp with all of her friends and look at all of the kangaroos and Aussie animals
From Ava biggest fan!!!
I love that idea – you never know 🙂
Thanks for replying!!!
