Magical interlinked stories about what one girl learns from talking to trees throughout Time and from around the world. A companion volume to Eight Princesses and a Magic Mirror by Natasha Farrant and Lydia Corry.
”Lille spejl på væggen der, det bedste og viseste i landet her, hvad gør en prinsesse fantastisk?” En troldkvinde sender sit spejl ud i verden på en rejse gennem tid og rum for give hende svar på spørgsmålet. I spejlets refleksioner møder vi otte meget forskellige prinsesser, som har det til fælles, at de er fulde af vovemod og handlekraft. Alle nægter de bare at være pæne og lydige, men kan i den grad klare at redde sig selv.Her kommer otte historier om prinsesser til generationen, der elskede Rebelske pigers godnathistorier! Otte eventyrlige fortællinger om hvad der i virkeligheden gør én til en ægte prinsesse - og det er ikke bare at blive gul og blå af at ligge på en ært.
Lotti's horrible aunt and uncle want to send her away to boarding-school (when she has just so successfully managed to get expelled from her last one!) And Clara, their young teacher, is waiting for news of her missing fiance. Just as they think they've found their feet in the new order, disaster strikes, and Lotti and Ben must get away.
Here are eight princesses for the Rebel Girls generation: bold, empowered, full of curiosity, adventure and determined to be true to themselves.
Being a combination of conventional diary entries and transcripts of videos shot by the author on the camera she was given for her 13th birthday, and beginning at the end of summer.Bluebell Gadsby is 13 but that's the least of her problems. Both her parents seem more interested in their careers than the family, leaving Blue and her three siblings in the care of Zoran the au pair, as well as their three pet rats (who may or may not be pregnant). The enigmatic Joss moves in next door and Blue thinks she might be falling in love, until he takes out her older sister Flora instead (who, incidentally, is trying to make a statement by dying her hair bright pink but no one takes the blindest bit of notice). Blue thinks and feels very deeply about life but can't really talk to anyone about it, because no one in the Gadsby family wants to address the real problem - that Blue's twin sister, Iris, died a year ago, and they are all just trying to hide their grief in busyness...So Blue turns to her diary and her unique way of seeing the world through her camcorder to express herself. A tender, funny, smart and ultimately heartwarming story.
