Marnie Midnight and the Moon Mystery

Image
Written and illustrated by Laura Ellen Anderson Published by Farshore Books Ages 5 and upwards Marnie Midnight is an absolute delight of a book!  No-one will fail to be charmed by Marnie's hopefulness, Milo's cuteness, Star's militancy, and ultimately Laura's wacky imagination and genius plot twists at the end. Floyd (an A not a Bee) embodies flamboyant uniqueness, Star the ant made me laugh and Marnie never stops believing or being curious about what she is passionate about (the moon and moon explorers). Easy to read for all ages approaching chapter books and onwards, I'm confident adults will chuckle at Laura's jokes too. I hope Marnie introduces many more children to Laura's growing host of characters and stories.
