Best Friends Lily Hart and Jess Forester heads back to Friendship Forest for Story Day. There they meet Lucy Longwhiskers the Bunny, who is lonely again because she needs some ideas to write for the Story Tree. Her friend, Sophie Flufftail the Squirrel helps Lucy by going to Mrs. Taptree's library when Grizelda, the wicked witch destroys it. Lily, Jess, Goldie, Lucy and Sophie are going to save the library and its animals stuck inside.
Adorable and Magical, a perfect animal book by the creator of Rainbow Magic, Daisy Meadows.

"Lucy Longwhiskers Finds a Friend" is a 2015 World Book Day book and as such is/was available for just one GBP, or in exchange for a World Book Day voucher. It is aimed at 5+ year-olds and is by Daisy Meadows, author of all the Rainbow Fairy books.
Similar to the Rainbow Fairy series the story has two young girls as its main characters - Lily and Jess - and they have a special secret. Using a hidden door in the Friendship Tree in the middle of Brightley Meadow they are able to access the magical world of Friendship Forest, "an amazing world where animals live in cottages, brightly coloured dens, or even on boats, and everyone of them can talk!"
This time it is Story Day in Friendship Forest, "the day we get new books here in the forest made magically by the Book Tree, which only makes them on Story Day." However there is one person who wants to spoil it for everyone, Grizelda. She hates books, she hates stories and she hates Story Day. Using a spell she wraps vines around Mrs Taptree's library so that no one can get in or out, and no one can access all the stories inside. Of course it falls upon Lily and Jess to sort out the mess, with Lucy Longwhiskers, a shy rabbit, making a new friend along the way.
The series seems to have a Beatrix Potter influence with character names such as Molly Twinkletail and Mrs Featherbill but it is good that Daisy Meadows has branched out into this new series as the fairy books were getting very formulaic. Also it is great that they produced an original story for World Book Day, one that is even themed to the event. Of course it's a little shorter than the other books in the series. Nevertheless my 8-year-old enjoyed this book very much.
