the girls get older and Babs overtakes Starr’s height,

When Starr starts primary school she is at first upset
by being shorter than the other children. But with help

fun and gentle story about disability, family and fitting in,
told by a major children’s author and illustrated by
an artist with dwarfism.
Minki het twee beste maats - Natalie en Lara. Natalie is mal oor ponies en gaan aan ’n perdrykompetisie deelneem waar die ruiters en hul ponies soos sprokieskarakters moet aantrek. Lara neem danslesse en eendag as sy groot is, wil sy ’n ballerina of ’n hiphop-danser word. Wanneer sy hoor van ’n danskompetisie by die winkelsentrum, skryf sy dadelik in.
Minki belowe albei haar maats dat sy hulle sal kom ondersteun, maar dis is net een probleem … die perdrykompetisie en die danskompetisie vind op presies dieselfde tyd plaas. Skielik voel Minki asof sy in die middel van ’n toutrekkompetisie tussen haar twee beste maats beland het. Hoe gaan sy ooit tussen Natalie en Lara kan kies?
From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new
adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad
scientist.
So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it
is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true)
tale of the Porch sisters…
Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong
in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to
etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They
don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are
named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they
certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re
far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last
etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away
for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school.
Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent
Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her
bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered
by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab. Dangerous?
Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters
are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad
scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand
out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!
