Description
Mirabelle, a half-witch and half-fairy, is stuck in a bad day when her best friend Carlotta is away from school. At home, her brother devours the last chocolate biscuit and starts playing with her beloved pet dragon, pushing her over the edge. The resulting tantrum creates chaos for the whole family, and Mirabelle must scramble to set things right before bedtime.
Quick Summary
When Mirabelle wakes up to a series of mishaps and her best friend Carlotta is out of town, she feels a bad mood creeping in. The story follows her as she tries a series of goofy experiments making silly faces, inventing ridiculous games, and even turning her bedroom into an impromptu comedy club to shake off the grumpies. Kids will love the mix of humor and gentle lessons about handling disappointment, and the short chapters make it perfect for early readers who want a quick, fun read. Parents will appreciate that there's no scary content, just a lighthearted approach to managing emotions, and the bright, relatable situations will spark conversations about feeling sad and finding ways to cheer up. If your child enjoys the humor and heart of books like "The Bad Guys" or the early "Junie B. Jones" series, they'll find Mirabelle's bad day just as entertaining.
