Meet Mabel - she's MAGNIFICENT.
Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance a naughty Christmas Elf gets her into LOTS of trouble. And the new boy in her class at school REFUSES to be her friend. And no-one lets her look after her little cousin, even though she is BRILLIANT with toddlers. But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.
A new book in the hilarious series, highly illustrated throughout and with three short stories, this is ideal for newly-confident readers.
Look out for:
Magnificent Mabel and the Rabbit Riot
Magnificent Mabel and the Egg and Spoon Race
Ruth grew up surrounded by sisters (she's the middle of three). She spent a lot of her childhood writing to the tooth fairy, pretending she had a pet rabbit of her own and stomping up to her room to read books - vital training for a children's author! She writes picture books and young fiction and many of her books have been nominated for awards. She lives in a small village near Oxford with her husband and three children.
Julia Christians received her diploma in communications design at the University of Art in Brunswick, and after graduating, started working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. She lives in the deep dark forest of the Harz Mountains, Germany, with her husband, kids, and a pack of dogs.
