Ellie PillaI Series

by
(5 reviews)

The only way we can describe this YA series is that it's like having a best friend or a big sister in a book, drawing upon author Christine Pillainayagam's own experiences as a teenage first-generation immigrant and lover of music.

All the books in this series are told in protagonist Ellie Pillai's first-person narrative. She is very familiar with the feeling of being an outsider and going unnoticed, but the truth is she is meant to shine. She is a talented songwriter, has amazing style and is a great friend and daughter. Over the course of this series, we see her coming out of her shell, falling in love and getting her heart broken, going viral online thanks to her songs and even becoming a big sister. This is a comforting read, but also one that will make you laugh out loud and dream big. 

This is the perfect read for fans of I Wanna Be Where You Are, Love Radio and Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl.

For more books like this, do check our recommended Best Funny Book Series for 13 and 14 year olds.

Book 1: Ellie Pillai is Brown (2022)

    Ellie Pillai is brown, is a very good book and is very well written. It is a very relatable book, with lots of humour. It is all about school.
    I LOVE...
