What does the Pageticker team say about Mirabelle and the Party Tricks?

Mirabelle and the Party Tricks is another classic Harriet Muncaster: magical mishaps, loyal friendship and just enough naughtiness to keep the party fizzing. As the fourteenth Mirabelle adventure, it is a cheerful choice for newly confident readers who enjoy illustrated chapter books, though children who prefer calm, orderly celebrations may find Mirabelle’s idea of “helping” slightly alarming.
