If you need a book to help you forget the stress of the world, smile & laugh out loud - even when you're out in the park, walking - this is the one to choose!
Some real-life, serious issues & situations are sensitively addressed in a clever & dynamic writing style that is inviting & frank at the same time.
Can you count to 10 in eight languages? No? That's one of the many things that made me laugh & also wonder how many languages I could cover!
This action-packed, fun story introduces us to Ivy & Nathaniel sharing their very individual takes on the world around them. Full of fun facts, young eco-activism & positivity in the face of tricky life situations, this story often uses humour & reality to keep us engaged. Ivy & Nathaniel want to save animals & solve the world's mysteries but daily life gets in the way sometimes. Ivy didn't have the easiest start in life but doesn't let that stop her enthusiasm for eco-friendly projects & animal rescue ideas.
Nathaniel & Ivy bounce their ideas & adventures in their own chapters - a format that works very well in this case - while we get wrapped up in their escapades & learn a lot of random but fascinating facts along the way!
The cover art by Kirsti Beautyman really grabs your attention & her interior illustrations welcome you to each new chapter.
You might even find a new project for yourself when you read this fantastic story!
