#Character isadora moon series#
The Isadora Moon series won the El Corte Inglés Children’s Book of the Year in 2019 and has sold over 4 million copies worldwide. So far Isadora Moon is available in thirty-seven different languages, including Spanish, Italian, Romanian and Korean, and is available as audio books. Thanks to the publishers Oxford Children’s Books for sending these titles for review.Harriet Muncaster is the author and illustrator of the internationally bestselling Isadora Moon, Mirabelle and Emerald series of young reader books and the middle-grade Victoria Stitch series, both published by Oxford University Press. This latest magical adventure, with Jennie Lovlie’s eye-catching two colour illustrations on every spread is, like the previous eight in the series, ideal for readers just starting out on chapter books. Kitty and Ozzy are definitely going to have to use their superpowers if they are to have any chance of finding Hollytail’s kittens. However, the forest is large and it looks as though a storm could be brewing. When she tells Ozzy he agrees to stay awake with her that night and together they find her and eventually persuade her they can help her find her missing kittens. Next morning Kitty finds a cat’s pawprints in the mud she follows them and discovers a wild cat. The first night Kitty hears what she’s sure is a cat outside but Ozzy thinks she’s mistaken.
Kitty and her friend and fellow superhero-in-training Ozzy are on a camping holiday with their families. Paula Harrison, illustrated by Jennie Lovlie Isadora is an irresistible delight and although some of those emerging readers who lapped up her first stories may well have moved on to Harriet’s Victoria Stitch books, I’m sure there are plenty more waiting in the wings to meet the little half-fairy, half-vampire in this magical offering. Is there any chance Isadora can make everything better again? Yes it does result in her missing school, but the side-effects are shall we say a fluffy, magic-induced chaos that’s impossible to keep from her Mum … However, what happens the next morning isn’t exactly what Isadora had been hoping for. Having collected the required items, that night she mixes the potion, rubs some on her face, hides the rest outside and goes off to sleep. The answer is yes – hence the title of this latest book in the series – and then, armed with a list of the ingredients she’ll need to collect, Isadora sets out to search for them. When Isadora Moon receives the news that after the weekend, her class will be tested on their times tables, she decides to contact her cousin Mirabelle just on the off chance she might be able to offer a maths test avoidance spell.
