Ivy Newt and the Swamp Dragons

LoveReading4Kids Says

Loveable little Ivy Newt has lots on her plate in this sparkling new escapade. After a special trip with her gran to watch the swamp dragons, newly arrived on their migration, Ivy accidentally tips some of Gran’s Double Trouble Bubbles into the bath, ‘Double the Bubbles – Double the Fun’ says the label, but it turns out to mean double the mischief.

Out of the bath hops an Ivy double – she looks like Ivy, but she’s properly naughty. Before long there’s an evil twin for Ivy’s familiar Tom too and even for the swamp dragons. Can Ivy burst their bubbles before they cause lasting damage?

Full of fun and magic, this is another fast-moving and thoroughly enjoyable adventure set in a delightfully imagined world. Derek Keilty has created characters young readers will love, while Magda Brol’s illustrations will draw in even the most reluctant reader.
