In a street full of boring, beige buildings is a colourful, magical house – home to Indigo Wilde and her parents’ collection of unusual creatures. Funny, pacy and heartfelt, this is a big new series from Pippa Curnick, a rising star in children’s books.
Discovered in the Unknown Wilderness when she was just a baby, Indigo Wilde was adopted by World-Famous Explorers, Philomena and Bertram, who are always off adventuring.
Home for Indigo and her little brother, Quigley, is 47 Jellybean Crescent, a crazy and colourful house full of magical creatures that her parents have taken in over the years. There’s Fishkins, a purrmaid – half-cat, half-fish, and ALWAYS grumpy; Graham, a llama-corn with a particular taste for tinsel; Olli and Umpf – bright pink and blue yeti brothers who can’t blend in to the snow, and that’s to name just a few of the creatures.
And now Indigo’s parents have sent another Monster Mail delivery to Indigo and Quigley. But this time, the box is empty, and the escaped creature is running rampage around the house. The race is on to catch the creature before it’s too late …
First in a new series by Pippa Curnick, this is gorgeously illustrated with colour and black and white artwork, for fans of Pippi Longstocking and Clarice Bean.
