If you like Isadora Moon, try these…

The Isadora Moon books by Harriet Muncaster are widely popular with young readers just taking the leap into independent chapter books. With easy-to-read text and stylish two-tone illustrations, this short, illustrated series hits the sweet spot as a first chapter book collection for many children in the 5-8 age bracket, with a growing number of magical adventures in the series.

We’ve put together a list of ten similar books for fans of Isadora Moon. Readers who love the magical adventures of the Isadora Moon books could try Midnight Magic or the Princess Mirror-Belle collection. Those looking for new stories featuring fairies or unicorns might enjoy Aziza’s Secret Fairy Door or The Naughtiest Unicorn. For children who want more very short chapter books with adventurous female leads like Isadora Moon, we recommend the super-cool Kitty series or Tiny, the Secret Adventurer and for those looking for more chapter books with colour illustrations, we suggest trying Princess Minna or Unipiggle next.

the extremely embarrassing life of Lottie brooks

The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks

Chapter book

Not only is she about to start high school without any friends or glamorous swooshy hair, she’s just discovered she’s too flat-chested to wear a bra.

She might as well give up now and go into hibernation with her hamsters Sir Barnaby Squeakington and Fuzzball the Third.

Lottie navigates the perils of growing up in this fantastically funny new illustrated series for pre-teens filled with friendship, embarrassing moments and, of course, KitKat Chunkys.
