Perfect for fans of Isadora Moon who want something longer to sink their teeth into!
Victoria Stitch and Celestine should be princesses. Born of diamond, they were relegated to a life of nannies and normality thanks to a tiny impurity - a stitch. But Victoria Stitch knows she was born to rule, and she'll stop at nothing to claim what is rightfully hers. Can Celestine stop her from taking things to far?
Victoria Stitch and Celestine are brilliant characters, filled with passion and creativity. Their relationship is a great example of the complexity of sibling relationships, as it is full of ups and downs, with the girls often struggling to regain the closeness of their youth. Sisters who struggle to get along will find a lot to relate to!
The world building is really special. Muncaster has created a world readers will want to dive head first into and never leave. From tree-stump palaces to flower bloom broomsticks, it is a world of small details and wonders.
The story itself is full of adventure, magic and twists. Switching the focus between Victoria Stitch and Celestine gives readers a great insight into both protagonists, and I loved them both.
Muncaster's artwork is stunning. There's only a sample in the proof copies, so I'm looking forward to buying the finished version to see Victoria Stitch and Celestine's adventures in detail. I particularly loved the different crowns at the beginning of each chapter.
My six year old and I are really enjoying reading her Isadora Moon collection together and I know she'll enjoy this story too in the future.
Thank you so much Oxford University Press for sending me a copy of this magical adventure to review.
