Pippa loves books.
That's the trouble
She loves reading them under trees, curled up on her bed, and anywhere else she can escape into another adventure. While her lively sister Polly races through life at full speed, Pippa is happiest with a book in her hands and her imagination soaring. Every day life, she has decided, is demanding and noisy and totally boring.
When an ordinary day takes an extraordinary turn, Pippa discovers a magical place unlike anything she has ever imagined-a hidden world where stories come to life, books are treasured beyond measure, and every page holds the promise of wonder.
Before long, Pippa finds herself on an unforgettable adventure that will test her courage, spark her curiosity, and remind her that the greatest adventures of all begin with opening a book.... or do they?
Should Pippa leave behind her ordinary life for a world filled with books and endless adventure? Or will she discover that the people who love her are part of the greatest story of all?
Filled with imagination, warmth, humour and heart, The Trouble With Books celebrates the joy of reading, the power of kindness, and the magic that books bring into our lives. Young readers will delight in following Pippa as she discovers that stories have the remarkable ability to inspire, comfort, and transport us to places we've never dreamed possible.
Perfect for children aged 7-11, this enchanting first book in the Pippa and Polly series is ideal for confident young readers, families to enjoy together, and classrooms that encourage a lifelong love of books.
If your child has ever disappeared into a good book, they'll discover that Pippa's greatest adventure is one they'll never forget.
