Description
The first book in a magical and mischievous new series for early readers from beloved author Allison Rushby.
Imagine if your baby sister could make wishes come true...
Flick has just found out her little sister has a special gift. Birdie has wished for a super-fabulous unicorn party and it has magically appeared in their backyard! There's a rainbow slide made out of sour straps (surprisingly slippery), a ball pit full of marshmallows (never sticky), and a real-life unicorn (that poops cupcakes, of course).
How can Flick stop the nosy next-door neighbour, Mrs Mortlake, finding out about her sister's magical gift when there's a super-fabulous party going on?
Review
If you love unicorns and magic, then you will love this new series!
Flick loves being a big sister to her baby sister Birdie, but she is getting a bit tired of reading her sister's favourite story, Petunia the Unicorn’s Super-fabulous First Birthday!
So you can imagine Flick's surprise when the story comes to life, right in her own backyard! How could this possibly happen?
Her Mum and Dad realise that they need to tell Flick about the special bottle that Granny Aggie left when she died – a bottle that an imp appears out of, and grants wishes!
It soon becomes clear that this imp is sneaky, and twisted Granny’s words, so that only Birdie has the power to wish for things.
With a completely magical, unicorn birthday party set up in their backyard, exactly as wished for by a 13-month-old baby, what could possibly go wrong - especially when you have a nosy neighbour like Mrs Mortlake?
This is a wonderful new series that emerging readers will love.
