Mike, Ann and Belinda have heard all about how exciting the big cities in America are with their hustle and bustle – and enormous plates of delicious food! And so when they find out that they are to travel on the big and glamorous ocean liner The Queen Elizabeth to New York, they can’t quite believe their luck!

What adventures lie in store them . . .

For a idyllic rural adventure try The Buttercup Farm Family and spend six whole spring and summer months in a caravan, on the beautiful Buttercup Farm.

With every creature you could possibly imagine from the noisy ducks and chickens to the enormous cows and horses and even gorgeous baby lambs, the Buttercup Farm family are in for a world of adventure, mischief and fun!

Both books feature numerous characterful internal illustrations by Aleksei Bitskoff which bring the stories to life making these middle grade adventure filled reads perfect for newly independent readers.
