For years I thought I had made up The Last of The Great Whangdoodles because no one had ever heard of anything like that by Julie Andrew’s and I couldn’t remember the name. I think I had read it from the library near my grandparents. I was so excited to find it again. Also, do you read Lucy Parker? My absolute favourite of hers, The Austen Playbook, centres around a fictional play called The Velvet Room. I had no idea there was a book of the same name. My niece is nine, so she is just on the cusp! She has enjoyed Malory Towers and is now reading Narnia so I have high hopes. Last year I gave her Anne of Green Gables for Christmas, though I don’t think she has tried it yet. My next plan is Noel Streatfeild, I think.
I haven't read Lucy Parker, but I will look her up. I should edit my post to say my 25 year old daughter corrected me to say she HAD read Anne of GG and A Day No Pigs Would Die. She just didn't like them overmuch.
