Mirabelle and the Magical Mayhem by Harriet Muncaster
Synopsis
Mirabelle's mum is a witch, her dad is a fairy, and she is a bit of both! Mirabelle doesn't mean to cause trouble, it just seems to follow her round. But when she and her brother go to stay at their fairy grandparents she is determined that nothing will go wrong, and she is going to be on her very best, most fairy-like, behaviour. But being good all the time is really tiring. And a little bit of mess leads to a little bit of secret witch magic, which leads to even more mess, and even more magic, until everything is in total chaos! Can Mirabelle get the mayhem under control before Granny finds out?
Reviews
'An adorable story that will speak to every child with a naughty side as well as a nice one - and the nail-biting excitement is perfect for younger readers beginning to explore chapter books and read independently.' BookTrust
'Meet Mirabelle, half fairy, half witch, totally lovable and likely to be just as appealing to young readers as her very popular little cousin Isadora Moon, also created by Harriet Muncaster. [ . . . ] There's lots to like and children are endlessly fascinated by characters who struggle with the rules. They'll appreciate Mirabelle's lively first-person narrative style too and the cool black and purple illustrations.' Books for Keeps
'Clever, imaginative, funny and positively fizzing with potions and broomsticks, Mirabelle's misadventures always leave youngsters eager for more!' Lancashire Post
