What does the Pageticker team say about Isadora Moon Goes Camping?

We love the way this gentle seaside adventure combines camping fun with Isadora’s delightfully unusual fairy-vampire family. Pink-and-black illustrations, short chapters and a warm message about honesty, courage and being different make it a welcoming choice for newly independent readers; perhaps just a little mild nighttime peril and magical mischief to consider.
