It's nice to have some letters after your name!

Yes she loved that series, no idea how I stumbled on it!

We've done all of those!! I'm glad I'm on the right lines. (The Heidi graphic novel by the same person made her cry)

Not Mallory Towers just yet, shes done St Clare's (which I always felt was slightly more junior). I will keep on the list for the future. Thank you

Thank you! Will add to list. (Eve if it's not quite right now it probably will be in 6mo as she's improving with peril!)

We enjoyed it on the way home on Weds. Excitingly they're recording near us on the 11th and I got permission from the 6yo's head teacher to pick her up an hour early to queue for seats for it!

Brill! Bad mermaids looks especially excellent

She loved the Ottoline, thank you I will look at the others. So tricky with the "age" thing when you can read really well when you're six (Jacqueline Wilson mostly not so good for this age â˜šī¸)

Yes! And there are so many of them. I think she is just having a moment đŸ˜Ŧ

Yes! She's going as RG for WBG. Haven't come across the others. Thank you!

@chaletfan.bsky.social are yours suitable for a girl this small?

6yo "almost all the books are about BOYS saving something. I want books about GIRLS".
Recommendations please for strong girl characters (her reading age is far higher than 6) - Rainbow Grey was a big win

This is what the complete set of Rainbows interest badges looks like! Well done 6yo!

Have you read the rest of the series? The four storey mistake is my other favourite from it

Oh goodness, feel free to swap with us where even the SENIOR SCHOOL dress up. My least favourite day of the year đŸĢ â˜šī¸

Similarly as an autistic person, I just do not go now that I have a school aged child...although I can just about manage three hours in a small one in Devon. Too many people, too much waiting, too much overload.

Of course, it's a Boeing.
