Description
Meet Mabel - she's MAGNIFICENT.
Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance, it is never her turn to look after the class caterpillar. And she's not allowed a pair of glasses, even though she is sure that she needs them. And her big sister Meg keeps ignoring her to do homework.
But none of that matters in the end... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.
The fourth book in a hilarious new series, highly illustrated throughout and with three short stories, this is ideal for newly-confident readers.

About the Author
When Ruth's three children aren't sending footballs whizzing past her ears and persuading her that sweets are healthy, they're saying funny things that she scribbles down and turns into stories. Ruth used to be a writer and sub-editor on national newspapers and glossy magazines, but she's much happier working from home as a freelance writer.
Julia Christians received her diploma in communications design at the University of Art in Brunswick, and after graduating, started working as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. She lives in the deep dark forest of the Harz Mountains, Germany, with her husband, kids, and a pack of dogs.
