Josie Smith in Summer

Josie Smith #8

by Magdalen Nabb

Der Sommer ist schrecklich heiß. Doch Finchen - und ihrer Mutter - fällt immer was ein: Finchen darf im Hof in einem alten Fass planschen. Da wird sogar die verwöhnte Lena neidisch und schimpft solange bis sie endlich auch mit ins Wasser darf. Was macht es schon, dass dabei ihre Locken baden gehen? Finchens Mutter bringt das mit ihrem "Zauberhaarspray" ganz schnell wieder in Ordnung.

About the author

MAGDALEN NABB was born in Lancashire in 1947 and trained as a potter. In 1975 she abandoned pottery, sold her home and her car, and came to Florence with her son, knowing nobody and speaking no Italian. She has lived there ever since, and pursues a dual career as crime writer and children's author.

She has written fourteen crime novels featuring Marshal Guarnaccia of the carabinieri, all set in Florence, which she describes as 'a very secret city. Walk down any residential street and you have no idea what is going on behind those blank walls. It's a problem the Marshal comes up against all the time.'

Magdalen Nabb also writes the immensely successful Josie Smith books, set in her native Lancashire, which form the basis of the Granada children's TV series, Josie Smith, scripted by the author. Her first book, Josie Smith, was runner-up for the Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1989, and in l99l, Josie Smith and Eileen was winner of the prestigious Smarties Book Prize for the 6-8 age group.
