isa Jewell lives in north London with her husband and two children. She worked as a secretary before redundancy, a bet and a book deal took her away from all that. She is the author of five previous huge bestsellers: Ralph's Party, Thirtynothing, One-Hit Wonder, Friend of the Family and, recently, Vince & Joy.

Leah and Toby have lived across the street from one another for years without meeting ... and Leah has been itching to peek behind the front door of Toby's eccentric house, always packed to the rafters with weird and wonderful tenants. When fate finally lets her in, Leah finds that Toby needs her as much as she is surprised to realize she might need him. Sometimes life needs a helping hand and with a sprinkle of romance and their own special magic, Toby and Leah's dreams show the glimmer of a chance of coming true. 31 Dream Street is a wonderfully warm and insightful novel that will capture the imagination and soothe the soul.
