OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering

Daughter loved this book and series.

El libro cumple las expectativas. Amazon terrible. Más de 3 meses para recibir un libro que tenía que haber llegado en una semana. Ninguna información sobre él pese a los correos enviados. Gestión vergonzosa.

A page turning adventure set in a magical woodland, which made me feel like I was back in Enid Blyton’s Enchanted Wood – a place I absolutely ADORED when I was a child (and still adore today). The setting glows and shines off the page, both through Harriet’s rich and colourful descriptions, and her gorgeous illustrations. Victoria Stitch and Celestine’s sisterly relationship drives the story along its dramatic twists and turns, which ends with a promise of more exciting adventures in this enchanting world. I’m looking forward to returning soon. Enjoy!

My kid read this at 6 (almost 7) after absolutely demolishing the hobbit, and enjoying the isadora moon cartoons. We looked for books by the same author and came across this series. My daughter read this so avidly that she fell asleep while reading it twice, and didn’t want to put it down. She even took it to school to read during “choosing time” and asked for the rest of the series for her 7th birthday. Fantastic stuff.

This was such an enjoyable read! To step into the magical world of Harriet Muncaster was a real privilege. I tried so hard to savour it but the plot is too gripping to put down. I loved the character development and as a primary school teacher, I really appreciated the descriptive detailing and advanced vocabulary. Highly recommend!
