Magnificent Mabel and the Christmas Elf (Magnificent Mabel, 2)

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.

The second book in a hilarious new 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 and Magnificent Mabel and the Magic Caterpillar

"This collection of three short stories follows the antics of Mabel, who as the title suggests, is rather magnificent. Only the first is festive - thanks to a very naughty elf who gets Mabel into heaps of trouble - but the entire volume is an energetic lark for youngsters who are confident with independent reading. The lead character is strong, wilful and very funny - the perfect heroine." - Martha Alexander, Independent
