Description
Arabella and the Magic Pencil tells the story of Arabella, a beloved only child who has everything a little girl could want. That is, until her brother, Avery, the master of mayhem, comes along. While she certainly loves him, she finds that it’s sometimes very hard to like him.
Arabella spends her days creating marvellous, magnificent things with her magic pencil and trying to ignore him. But when he spoils her perfectly proper tea party, she decides drastic action is required and she erases him from her life. Oops!
But things aren’t the same without him — can she get him back?
Arabella and the Magic Pencil is a charming story that will appeal to any child coming to terms with a new sibling and to caregivers who are supporting changing family dynamics, as well as those who love fantasy and engaging, alliterative language.
