May 2024 Debut of the Month

There’s a new hero in town, and she’s quite something! The hero of Wobbly Rock, Betty Steady is only twelve, but she’s already an expert in swordplay and combat, tall, blessed with unmatched strength and speed, not to mention stylish hair.

But, as our narrator helpfully points out at the very beginning, being utterly brill means that you can sometimes get a bit big for your boots. That’s exactly what happens. Betty overestimates her ability to take on the Toad Witch and her sidekick ogre, she doesn’t do proper preparations, and she ends up in a very sticky situation. Fortunately, she’s got friends to help - Figg the imp, Elle Emen O’Pea the trumpet-playing mouse, and Rupert Sometimes, who’s an owl. It’s surprising what you can do with teammates and by using brains to back up the brawn.

This is a proper knightly adventure, while also very funny. Betty Steady is bound to win lots of fans, and there are more adventures to come, which is excellent news. Sarah Horne’s inky illustrations are a perfect match to the text, catching the excitement and the silliness. Hip hip hooray for Betty Steady!
