Created by Harriet Muncaster of Isadora Moon fame, Mirabelle is half witch, half fairy, and totally irrepressible! In this adventure her witch mum is in a bit of a flap getting ready to host a barbecue for their new neighbours. Mirabelle promises to be good and indeed, tries her best to help, but things always go awry where she’s concerned, and soon there’s mess in the kitchen, far too much sugar in the lemonade, and frogspawn in her brother Wilbur’s drink! Sent up to her room, Mirabelle can’t resist using her favourite shrinking spell to rejoin the party and more trouble follows!
What young reader wouldn’t want to be Mirabelle with her amazing family, her magical powers and her trick of getting into and out of mischief? These sparkling little stories with their black and purple illustrations are just the thing for newly confident young readers.

About
Mirabelle and the Picnic Pranks Synopsis
Mirabelle is special because she is different. Her mum is a witch and her dad is a fairy and she LOVES getting up to magical mischief.
So, her parents' picnic party in the garden seems the perfect chance to play some pranks on her annoying brother, Wilbur. But when Mirabelle gets caught putting frogspawn in Wilbur's drink she's sent inside. It's so unfair! Why should she have to miss the party?
Then a brilliant idea strikes: If she uses a shrinking potion on herself, she'll be too tiny for anyone to see, so she'll still be able to enjoy the party! But Mirabelle is about to discover that the garden feels a little more dangerous when you're no taller than a blade of grass. Have her mischievous ways gone too far this time . . . ?

About Harriet Muncaster

It was while at school that she discovered that being an illustrator and author was a real career path she could take. From that moment on Harriet knew exactly what she wanted to be! She studied illustration at Norwich University of the Arts and then went on to do an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. After completing the MA, Harriet’s work was spotted by a publisher at Bologna Children’s book fair and she got her first book deal.
Harriet is inspired by anything magical, fantastical and glittery. She also has a great fascination for miniature things and owns a dollshouse in the shape of a castle.
