The Adventures of Isabelle Necessary by Martii Maclean

The Adventures of Isabel Necessary

Martii Maclean 




Happy Saturday everyone. I am so excited to have been asked to be part of this blog blitz today especially as I have a guest reviewer, My 11 year old Daughter, Abbie! She has been asking for some time to take part in my blog and as a huge bookworm, like myself, today is her chance. Hope you all enjoy her review. 
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources and to Martii Maclean for our copy of this book. 

Book Description 

One gutsy eleven-year-old, a cool beach town, a hilarious crew of friends and oodles of adventures.
Once upon a beach, there was a girl called Isabelle Necessary. A girl with an unusual name and a rather extraordinary life. She roams around a sleepy beach town with her loyal team of friends. Follow Isabelle, Tammy, David, Nin, Draino the cat and Champ the wonder dog as they navigate one sticky situation after another and figure out how to turn a frog into a movie star, deal with a never- ending milkshake and escape being trapped in a lighthouse.
The type of book that brings back childhood memories and captures the essence of being a free- spirited kid.
Perfect for teachers and educators as the book comes with a teacher’s resource guide and student maker kit by Isabelle Necessary herself. Middle-grade reading level.


Abbie's Review 
Hello I hope you enjoy my first book review for my mum.  This book called The Adventures of Isabelle Necessary is about a girl who love her adventures on Saggy Beach. I think its funny how it is named Saggy beach and not sandy beach, This made my mum laugh when I told her!  Isabelle has a friend called Tammy and a Cat who, came from a drain, called Draino. I like the way that they all look after Isabelle's Aunt Emma because I have an Auntie Emma too! I enjoyed this collection of short stories and found them all funny in their own way. I think the book could maybe have had a little bit more description in it about what they are all doing.  I think that this would be more suitable for my younger sister who is eight rather than me aged 11. I hope that other young children will enjoy reading this book and laugh with their parents.
