On the Road with Mavis and Marge

On the Road with Mavis and Marge

by NiamhSharkey (Author)

Synopsis

A zany bunch of pals succumb to wanderlust - and get more than they bargained for. Mavis and Marge are different from other animals. They want to go a-wandering. Over the hills, across the sea, and up to the moon they go, gathering a band of free-range friends on the way. But, suddenly, from across the milky way, Home has a distant allure. The story zips along, keeping the pages turning as the protagonists whirl through a colorful sequence of zany scenarios - all great fun! Niamh Sharkey's style is all her own, her characters jumping off the page with inimitable vivacity. It is definitely one to watch.
