Magnificent Mabel and the Christmas Elf
Meet Mabel - she's MAGNIFICENT.
Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance a naughty Christmas Elf gets her into LOTS of trouble. And the new boy in her class at school REFUSES to be her friend. And no-one lets her look after her little cousin, even though she is BRILLIANT with toddlers. But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.
The second book in a hilarious new series, highly illustrated throughout and with three short stories, this is ideal for newly-confident readers.
