Description

Beautifully written by Carnegie and Costa Award-winning author Sally Gardner, illustrated throughout with stunning illustrations from Greenaway-shortlisted artist Chris Mould, and filled with heart, humour and imagination, What To Do, Pernickety Boo is the magical sequel to Pernickety Boo – the story of a very unusual umbrella

Sometimes in life, you have to believe in the impossible – especially when the impossible is Pernickety Boo.

Pernickety Boo, the well-educated umbrella with unexplored magical powers, is very happy in his new life at 3 Rose Terrace with his beloved owner, Sylvie Moonshine, and best friend Jimjam the cat – even if the occasional mishap does some times occur.

And when a diamond tiara stolen from a princess suddenly comes into Pernickety's possession, he embarks on an exciting new time-travelling adventure in order to clear his name and reunite the tiara with its proper owner.

From multi-award-winning author Sally Gardner, beautifully illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist Chris Mould, and perfect for fans of A Bear Called Paddington, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Mary Poppins, What to Do, Pernickety Boo? is the extraordinary sequel to the instant modern classic, Pernickety Boo – a magical book for the whole family to share.

Nurse Jane Goodbetter is charged with monitoring Agatha Christie as she recovers from her recent health scare at her sister's home, Abney Hall.
