Nobblers' Bend (Paperback)

Paperback. Nobblers' Bend is the sixth book in the Laura McNaughty Adventures series, where we join Laura and her family and friends in this snowy, Christmas adventure. Big Sue takes delivery of two homeless donkeys, but unexpected circumstances see the new arrivals stranded on a small island, called the Conker, where they have to spend the night before they can be rescued. A big snowball fight in the village lives up to its reputation, and the ice skating festival on Christmas Eve provides some exciting and heart-warming entertainment.Laura McBean lives in the middle cottage of three with her brother Johnny and her mum on the edge of Stokey's Woods. Laura was quite a mischievous girl when she was growing up, and that is how she got the nickname of Laura McNaughty. She doesn't get into as much mischief now because she is that little bit older; but if she finds out that someone has been cruel to animals then that person, whoever he or she maybe, will have Laura and her friends to contend with.Simon Dudley's, beautifully written and charmingly portrayed, children's adventure book series is a pleasure to read. The lost and nearly forgotten years of 1950's childhood can be experienced within these pages as the author cleverly immerses you into their world. This is a real treat for any reader, young or old, who fancies a bit of time travel back to when kids could truly be kids. This item is printed on demand.
