Gabby reaches up, up, up to put away her last book when suddenly, the book tumbles out of her hand and the letters inside scatter around her playroom! Before Gabby can collect them all, the letters take on a life of their own, “spelling” disaster! Will Gabby manage to tame her new “word-mates” and show them how letters can also make “f-r-i-e-n-d-s?”

The Feely Tonks Series

by Jan Dolby

The Feely Tonks Series

Barbara Catchpole
Illustrated by Jan Dolby
Ransom Publishing
2016

Phoebe Dorcas Tonks is a brutally honest clever young lady, who is permanently annoyed at the world. Phoebe, or Feely for short, lives with her useless Mum and Dad – they’re worse than having a single parent. Even at the best of times they only add up to three fifths of a decent parent. And then there’s Feely’s older brother Oliver. He’s too big to live in a small house and his feet smell. It’s like having a kitten – cute but then it grows up into a normal boring cat and just lolls about the place stinking up the place.
