Violet Mackerel's Personal Space

Violet Mackerel's Personal Space

by Anna Branford (Author), Anna Branford (Author), Sam Wilson (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Meet Violet Mackerel - a girl with a mission to think outside the box. Violet invents her "Theory of Leaving Small Things" (when you leave something small in a nice place, so a tiny bit of you gets to stay too). Then there are two lots of special news: Mum and Vincent are getting married, and they'll all be moving to a new house. Violet is excited about the wedding part (she will wear a dress with fairy wings) but not so keen on the moving house: brother Dylan is not keen on ANY of it. Whilst everyone pitches in on the preparations, he pitches his tent right in the middle of the wedding party. Can Violet help Dylan leave part of himself behind while they all move on together?

Author Bio
Anna Branford was born on the Isle of Man, but spent her childhood in Sudan, Papua New Guinea and Australia. Once, when she was very itchy with the chicken pox, her dad read her the Very Hungry Caterpillar thirty times in a row. Anna lectures in Sociology at Victoria University, Australia, and spends her evenings writing stories, kept company by a furry black cat called Florence. She also makes dolls using recycled materials. Sam Wilson graduated from Kingston University in 1999. The Violet Mackerel books are the first titles she has illustrated for children. She says, It has been such fun drawing Violet, she is a gorgeous character with such an adventurous spirit. Sam lives in the Staffordshire countryside.
