Isadora Moon #17

by Harriet Muncaster, הארייט מונקסטר (Author's Hebrew Name), עטרה אופק (Translator)

אִמָּא שֶׁלָּהּ פֵיָה וְאַבָּא שֶׁלָּהּ עַרְפָּד,
וְהִיא קְצָת מִזֶּה וּקְצָת מִזֶּה.

יַלְדָּה חֲדָשָׁה בְּשֵׁם אֶוָה מִצְטָרֶפֶת לַכִּתָּה,
וְאִיזָדוֹרָה רוֹצָה לְהִתְחַבֵּר אִתָּהּ, אֲבָל אֶוָה פָּשׁוּט לֹא מְעוּנְיֶנֶת. לַחֲבֵרֶיהָ לַכִּתָּה שֶׁל אִיזָדוֹרָה לֹא אִכְפַּת לְהִתְעַלֵּם מֵהַיַּלְדָּה הַחֲדָשָׁה, כִּי בָּרוּר לָהֶם שֶׁהִיא לֹא מְחַבֶּבֶת אוֹתָם,
אֲבָל אִיזָדוֹרָה קוֹלֶטֶת שֶׁמַּשֶּׁהוּ מֵצִיק לְאֶוָה מִתַּחַת
לַמַּרְאֶה הַחִיצוֹנִי הַלֹּא־יְדִידוּתִי שֶׁלָּהּ.
הַאִם תַּצְלִיחַ אִיזָדוֹרָה לְגַלּוֹת מָה הַבְּעָיָה וְלַעֲזוֹר לְאֶוָה לְהִסְתַּגֵּל לְבֵית הַסֵּפֶר הֶחָדָשׁ?

More great fun reading Isadora Moon with my daughter.

This book was so good I loved it

[Joey Susan · Rating 3 out of 5]

There’s a new girl at Isadora’s school buts she’s not nice to her or anyone else. It’s pink rabbits teddy bear picnic party and everyone is invited, but building up the courage to invite mean girl Ava is hard for Isadora to do, until she learns the truth about Ava.

I honestly felt so bad for Ava the whole time, you could tell she felt out of place in this new scary school, she was being mean as a coping mechanism and it was so sad seeing her put up the walls instead of trying to be nice. I was glad that Isadora wasn’t mean to her, though not inviting her right away wasn’t the best option, she still tried to figure it out and felt bad for having not done it.

I really enjoyed the little picnic party that she through for pink rabbit and how cute that everyone else’s toys got brought to life too, just so adorable. I really loved seeing the illustrations of the party scenes, it was so beautiful. Another good book in the Isadora world.

I bought my own paperback from Waterstones !

When Ava, a new girl joins Isadora’s class, Isadora tried to be friends with her but Ava didn’t seem to like her or her friends.

Isadora is having a party for her special toy Pink Rabbit inviting the whole class but when she tries to give Ava an invitation, Ava snubs Isadora, and upsets Isadora as Ava doesn’t believe Isadora’s wings are real.

Eventually Isadora and her dad meet up, with Ava and her parents. But will Ava and Isadora become friends?

This is the perfect little girls read for those who love reading about fairies and nice vampires !

Iets te suikerzoet. Sorry hoor, ik snapte niet waarom iedereen zo zat te pushen om Eva maar lief te vinden en ik snapte Eva's redenatie aan het einde ook zeker niet. Je ziet toch dat iedereen het OK vind om knuffels te hebben? En iedereen heel lief is? Waarom doe je dan zo verdomde moeilijk. Ik vond het gewoon aanstelleritis. Echt het minst leuke boek in de serie, ik vond het gewoon zo sneu voor Isabella die zo haar best deed en blijkbaar maar het moest slikken want het meisje was vast heel lief hoor. Ja hoor. URGH.
Het feestje vond ik wel leuk en ook de illustraties blijven leuk.

Apartando de que el estilo de dibujo lo noté algo raro (especialmente por el cambio de ilustrador, aunque, con el tiempo, ha mejorado, y mucho) la verdad es que es una genial historia que, de manera inesperada, nos mete una buena moraleja sobre no prejuzgar a la gente, y hablar con ella para conocerla mejor.

When Isadora Moon meets a girl who just moved into town, they don’t get on very well. The girl seems quite mean. Will Isadora and the new girl finally get along, or will they stay rivals forever?

This book is quite similar to the other ones in the series, but it’s totally different too! It has themes of friendship, bravery and trouble.

[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

A delightful read that follows Isadora as she facing the difficulty of a new girl at school who doesn't seem all that nice. But of course all is not what it seems as after some typical schoolgirl shenanigans the truth comes out. My niece loves this series and I think I would've when I was her age.

[Dulce Esquivel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love how low-key Isadora teach important lessons to the kiddos through the whole book! I'm sure my niece gonna love it <3

Me gusta mucho esta saga, sinceramente, no es el mejor libro de Harriet que me haya leido, pero no está nada mal. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque no me eganchó demasiado, me tardé demasiado en leerlo entero! 😺

Kid review - 8 years old

I think it was really good but some parts of the book made me feel sad for Isadora. Not my favourite and not my least favourite of Isadora book.

[Pata · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo que me gustaría haber tenido estos libros con la edad de Isadora 🥺 son la cosa más mona del universo y además creo que enseñan al niño a ser mejor persona.

[Chiara Verzulli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Isadora Moon è una bambina speciale, mezza fata e mezza vampiretta, ha una vita felice e spensierata, come quella che ogni bambino dovrebbe avere.
Un giorno nella sua classica routine entra una nuova compagna di classe: Ava.
I bambini fanno di tutto per farla sentire a suo agio, renderla partecipe dei loro giochi. Ma la nuova bambina respinge ogni tipo di approccio.
Questo atteggiamento scostante non viene compreso dai bambini, in realtà tutto quello è un modo per difendersi, la piccola si sente in difficoltà perché ha paura di non essere accettata e di non essere vista in qualche modo speciale.

Sarà proprio Isadora a comprenderne i motivi e a cercare di avvicinarsi ulteriormente e darle una seconda possibilità, nonostante l’abbia ferita sminuendo il suo essere.

Il dare una seconda possibilità, il provare a superare le proprie incertezze senza attaccare e ferire gli altri, non aver paura di mostrare ciò che si è realmente.

Grazie alla DeAgostini per avermi dato la possibilità di divertirmi con Isadora ed entrare nel suo mondo magico.
