Book Synopsis

A brilliant new highly-illustrated chapter book series for 5+ readers. Destiny uses her creativity to overcomes her worries. Perfect for readers moving on from Tom Percival’s BIG BRIGHT FEELINGS picture books and fans of JOJO & GRAN GRAN.

Destiny can’t wait to go for her first ever sleepover at her best friend’s house. But she also can’t help feeling a little worried … they’re going to camp outside in the garden – in a tent – but also in the dark! Destiny uses her trusty sketchbook to doodle her ideas and work through her worries. She even draws some monsters but that makes her feel a bit scared again, so she makes a tent in her room to practice in. When she goes to bed, she hears some noises from the tent and finds a monster inside!

But the monster isn’t frightening. He’s come for a sleepover but he’s not sure he’s ready. Can Destiny help him? After they try midnight snacks, dressing up and telling stories under the stars, Destiny realises there’s nothing to be worried about after all! The next morning, the monster has disappeared, but Destiny is more ready for a sleepover than ever!

Our Review Panel says...

This is the first in a fun illustrated chapter book series for 5-7-year-olds. The story provides an exploration of how children might overcome some of the worries associated with a first sleep-over or camp-out.

Through the eyes of Destiny, we explore how she feels about her upcoming camp-out at Olivia’s house and how she overcomes the butterflies in her tummy with the help of a very special friend. The story is lighthearted and creative, but also explores the physical symptoms children might experience when feeling apprehensive, which lends itself to discussion about emotional literacy.

The book is presented in an appealing and accessible way that will draw in younger or more reluctant readers and there are plenty of doodles to break up the text for those who find text-dense pages hard to navigate.
