out of her fingers!
It's time for her parents to drop a life-changing bombshell.
Mum is a secret superhero, fighting crime across the globe while
Dad looks after the kids at home.
As Aurora's own powers come into play, will she be able to balance
her new super skills training with school?
Will she be able to keep it all a secret from her friends?

a super VILLAIN might be more fun...?

Alesha Dixon says:
My inspiration to create a superhero called Lightning Girl
began with wanting my young daughter to feel empowered.
It's been a dream to create a strong role model that any child
can look up to - I want my readers to see themselves in Aurora,
who is dealing with trouble at home and trouble at school alongside
her new powers.
I also have a love of precious stones and their healing properties;
I have always been fascinated with their spectacular colours
and the positive energy that they bring.
As human beings we are always searching for something greater
within ourselves and a deeper meaning to life and it's my belief
that we all have a light within us that can affect change and
bring good to the world... we just have to harness it! :) Enter
Aurora Beam!
Book 2

adventure series for 8+ readers from hugely popular TV
personality, Alesha Dixon, written in
collaboration with Katy Birchall.
Aurora Beam is finding this saving-the-world lark isn't all its
cracked up to be.
World-famous overnight after she foiled the Blackout Burglar's
plot to steal a precious stone, she's living in the full glare of
the media's flash bulbs: everyone wants a piece of the coolest
new superhero in town.
When she attends a global gathering of superheroes, will she find
support from new friends who know exactly what she's going through?
Or will there be rivalries and sabotage to deal with?
And what on earth is Grandma Beam - who Aurora thought was running
a home for retired alpacas deep in the countryside - doing turning
up at this top-secret summit?
