The Isabelle Stories: Volume 2

Isabelle and her best friends Harry B and Izzy are in Year Two and there are lots of adventures to be had: getting to know their new teacher, going to a school disco and sleepover, bridge-building in the forest, and even a baby to show the whole class! Isabelle loves being in Year Two, until . . . Harry has some news that shocks them all. How will Isabelle manage the rest of the year without Harry B by her side? A warm and relatable series about all the special little moments and big dramas of being seven. Jane Godwin, one of Australia's most respected writers for children, gently explores the trials and triumphs of friends, family and school life, with delightful illustrations by Robin Cowcher. 'One of the best . . . junior Aussie titles is The Isabelle Stories, a gorgeous collection of four stories in one volume, stories about Isabelle and her world, about friends, family, school life and growing up. This is a brilliant title for beginning readers aged 5-8 (and a great read-aloud title) from Jane Godwin, one of Australia's most applauded writers for children' Paul Macdonald, The Children's Bookshop, Sydney 'Jane Godwin has a great voice: deft, light and rich' The Age
