Beskrivning

Twenty all-new stories of summertime, full of adventure, fun and a generous pinch of magic. A mermaid who struggles with singing finds her true gift; an ice-cream seller finds a book of magical recipes; a boy decides to set a world record, any world record, to save his friends' kickabout space; and a family of vampires accidentally book a holiday to Rome. Beautifully descriptive language, pacy stories and lively illustrations make for a deliciously moreish collection, perfect for encouraging developing and newly-confident readers."A book to treasure - every story is a gem."Natasha Farrant, Costa Children's Book Award winner.
