Fairies of Blossom Bakery: Plum and the Winter Ball

Join Plum and the fairies of Blossom Bakery in their third adventure

We meet fairy friends Cupcake, Sparkle, Button, Butterfly, Cookie and - the star of this book - Plum. It's a lovely feel-good series about friendship, baking and fairies that gives some important life lessons to little readers, such as not underestimating yourself in this story.

Mandy Archer (Author) Mandy Archer's love of words started one Christmas when Santa brought her a typewriter. Wind forward three decades and Mandy’s still typing. After training as an editor, she went on to become the Creative Head of Children’s Books for BBC Worldwide, nurturing a host of characters including Wallace &amp; Gromit and the Teletubbies. Since then she has devised all kinds of titles for children and teens, ranging from board books for babies through to paperbacks and pop-ups. For the record, she still can’t shake her stationery habit. Her prize possession is a rather snazzy electronic pencil sharpener. Kirsteen Harris-Jones (Illustrator) Kirsteen Harris-Jones left school at 16 and attended the North Wales school of art and design. Her career has spanned lots of areas from advertising houses, creative/ graphic design houses and even animation studios. Then, after 20 yrs and a huge semi- break to stay at home and look after my children, she has remained busy as a freelance artist. Her achievements to date are winning the NEWI Caldecott prize, and a highly commended at Macmillan for Gilda's brother.

Plum and the fairies of Blossom Bakery are looking forward to Princess Crystal's Winter Ball but who will be crowned the Snow Belle? Plum has been working hard to get better at skating but on the day of the ball it's all going horribly wrong. Will her fairy friends be able to bring some festive cheer?

Fairies of Blossom Bakery: Cookie and the Secret Sleepover

Join Cupcake and her fairy friends as they explore the magical world of baking. Cookie organises a secret sleepover for her best friend Cupcake.

We loved this book just as much as the first one, for the lovely illustrations, the appealing fairies and the helpful life lessons about true friendships. But the other thing we all love is the fab recipe at the end of the book, allowing little readers to make up one of the sweet treats from the story.

Cookie loved baking with her best friend Cupcake so much that she organises a secret sleepover 
just for them. But what will she do when she’s invited over to Button’s house on the day of the 
sleepover? Will she tell them about her secret?
