  Lucy The Good

  by Marianne Musgrove

  Lucy van Loon knows she’s a good girl. So why is she always sitting on the Time Out chair? After all, she had a very good reason for tipping Jacinta’s unicorn pencils all over the floor. And she only had a shriek because her grumpy aunt called her a bad girl and a greedy liar, which was UTTERLY not true.

  But what if Lucy is bad? Her aunt has brought something from Holland that Lucy wishes she’d never seen. Now she has to figure out how to avoid it, and fast. It’s time to prove she really is Lucy the Good.

  But how?

  The Worry Tree

  by Marianne Musgrove

  Just because something’s not magic doesn’t mean it can’t be magical ...

  Juliet’s a worrywart, and no wonder! Her little sister, Oaf, follows her around taking notes and singing ‘The Irritating Song’ all day long. Her parents are always arguing about Dad’s junk. And Juliet’s friends, Lindsay and Gemma, are competing to see which of them is Juliet’s best friend. Juliet can’t fit in any more worries!

  But then she makes a remarkable discovery. Behind the wallpaper in her new bedroom, Juliet uncovers an old painting of a very special tree. It’s the Worry Tree, and with the help of a duck called Delia and the other Worry Tree animals, Juliet just might be able to solve some of life’s big problems.
