⚡️Chloe : L.A. USA
Living in Los Angeles and born in New York City, I miss New York foods like hot dogs, bagels, and pretzels, but I love living close to the beach. I love gymnastics too, my friends, my family and school. Yes for REAL I love school! When not at gym prac l like acrobatics, handball, watching YouTube, making slime, sketching or climbing trees in the park. My dream is to one day be a circus performer, artist or photographer.
⚡️ Ruby : Sydney AUS
Hey! I love fashion, food, the beach and sun. I am constantly driven to find my happiest most peaceful state - always striving for experiences that make my personality beam !!
⚡️Emily : Perth AUS
Passionate about wheelchair rugby, soccer, singing along to my latest playlist, making films and hanging with my friends and family.. I think people use the word “pretty” too often and it kind of suggests that the way we look is more important than other qualities. There are more important things - for example being kind, being fair, inclusive, cooperating and friendly; or placing value on our attitude, our effort and being our true authentic self!
Happy to be here.

⚡️Leroy : Berlin GER
Hey! I’ve been living in Berlin for over a year and I’m interested in public speaking and the arts. Oh yeah, and I like to play games, draw pictures and keep it REAL. I recently had an exhibition here in Berlin for some of my art, I started off in a school I didn’t like, learning a language I didn’t think I could learn, I was harassed and bullied a bit... and then, I changed school.
⚡️ Eliza : Brighton UK
I think that it is important to do what is RIGHT and not what is easy.
My name is Eliza + I'm repping RPK.
⚡️Anya : Melbourne AUS
Hi! My name is Anya and I’m 10 years old. I really enjoy going to school, and I am the Snr School Council Captain of my class. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and I have Italian + Croatian heritage.
⚡️Dee Dee : London UK
Hi! I love horses, singing, playing my flute, writing music, animals and writing books. I always love to go on holiday to somewhere warm and where there are beaches, ice-cream and wildlife areas.
My dream is to have a job where I can be around animals and people.
I really love 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' because the characters and plot are my favourite style where every moment is a clue. I also love the film Pitch Perfect.
My name is Dee Dee + I’m repping RPK.
⚡️Lilliana : Singapore
Hi there! I am a third culture kid: born in Singapore but my mum is from Australia and my dad is from Wales. To me it is normal to have 21 different nationalities in your class at school, with everyone celebrating unique traditions and holidays, and speaking lots of languages. I love being based in Asia as I am lucky and get to travel a lot. I speak English but also Mandarin. In my spare time I love sports - Basketball, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Athletics, and Gymnastics. And I have a dog called Rosie who I hang out with.
My name is Lilliana + I'm repping RPK.
⚡️ Ksenia : Melbourne AUS
Hello! My mum is Russian. My family lived in Moscow, Russia for 7 years, from when I was in kindergarten to when I was 7-8 years old. Meaning that I’ve lived in Russia most of my life. I have many good friends, and they have all changed me as a person and each of them has made me perceive the world in a different (but good) way. REAL PRETTY for me means being you and being confident with who you are without having to change to meet anyone else’s expectations.
I have a lot of hobbies! Reading - I would have to say the Percy Jackson series is a favourite and I’m pretty sure I’ve reread the books at least 3 times now; silk painting; and playing Mario Kart and Twilight Princess: Legend of Zelda are all on the list. I also enjoy competitive swimming, horse riding, tennis, badminton, volleyball and playing piano. My favourite musical artist is the band Boy and Bear and Tchaikovsky.
My Name is Ksenia + I'm repping RPK.
⚡️ Bailee : Sydney AUS
I think keeping it REAL is important because it’s about being the best ‘you’ that you can be. No one is like you so be true to yourself and show everyone who you really are.
⚡️Emerson : Sydney AUS
Loving my family & friends, dogs, Fridays, summer, the beach, rainbows and chocolate. I am creative and artistic and I think I am pretty funny and kind. I think it would be so amazing if we could all remember this... to treat everyone with kindness and not because they are kind to you but because that's just who you are..
My name isEmmy + I'm repping RPK.
⚡️ Lily : Brisbane AUS
Hi everyone! I love nature. I love getting out on adventures + exploring new places. Spending time with family + friends. And taking care of animals.
I think KIND is cool. Real is better than fake. And that a smile can fix A LOT of things.
My name is Lily + I’m repping RPK.

📚 ChickPea Daly
Hi everyone - this is me for RPK Book Clubbers! I'm 9 and I love saving the planet. I also like drawing, fashion stuff, doing art, colouring and playing Minecraft. I really like all foods (except broccoli YUCK!) 🙊 I LOVE animals (especially horses and I would not mind one bit moving to a farm) and I feel super happy when a new baby (e.g. a puppy or a kitten or even a real human being baby) is born.

📚 Imogen
Hi everyone! I'm 9. And when I'm not reading, you'll find me climbing (mostly trees but anything really….. ) And drawing. I LOVE reading and drawing!!
I also love all types of animals and pets, hanging out with friends and travelling overseas - especially to see my family and cousins.
To me, HAPPINESS IS.. A good joke, a visit to the bookshop, camping with friends and getting out of class to do sports.
I am not a fan of...MATHS (sorry maths lovers) or fights between people or Brussel Sprouts (especially when my parents call them "mini lettuces" to trick us into eating them).
On my shelf right now are:
🌟 Holes
🌟 House of Secrets
🌟 Scarlet & Ivy"
