Produktbeschreibung

"Good for children comfortable reading longer books on their own."
For ages 8-12 years.

Magali: a French marmot who can't resist her funny mountain mates and their crazy, nocturnal, sports adventures!

Magali and Mishka found a farm high up in the mountain. They raced to the gate, scaled it, and pulled the lever.

The farm animals stared at the little marmot and rabbit.

Mishka waved. 'Hurry! The gate is open! Run!'

Magali said, 'Quickly! Run! You're free!'

One of the donkeys moved forward. 'What are you talking about, ''free?'''

Magali said, 'We're helping you!'

'Helping us?' A fat duck waddled over. 'Helping us how?'

'Escape from prison!' said Mishka.

'Prison? Ha ha ha! You think we're in prison?' The duck flapped her wings. 'You think we don't know how to open that gate? You think I can't fly? This isn't prison. This is paradise!'

Mishka scratched his head.

'Look, you best be going,' quacked the duck. 'This is no prison. We have free food, free lodging, and free para...'

The farm animals gasped. They shook their heads at the duck.

Hmmmm... the farm animals are guarding a big secret. Will Magali, Mishka and their mates (Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé, and Chamois Luc) find out what is going on in secret each night at the farm?

A middle grade book series about unexpected friendships, trusting instinct, and learning independence!

Question for the Author
How did you come up with the character of Magali?
'You know, I really love the French Alps, and looking at all the animals that live in the mountains. I'm Australian, so I had never seen a marmot before moving to France. I worked one summer, for a kids' summer camp, and part of my job was to take the children out on walks. We would go looking for marmots, all of us being very quiet, secretly sneaking up to the holes in the ground, where the entrances to the marmot burrows were. Of course, we would make too much noise and the marmots would disappear into their underground tunnels, but sometimes we were lucky and able to take photos. I think their underground homes took over my imagination, and before you knew it, I had a whole chapter book in my head, with Magali as the principal character!'

Autorenporträt

Muddy Frank writes humorous children's chapter books.

'I see the Mt Blanc from my balcony every day. I love it because I grew up in Australia by the beach, so this is so different. I like the food that comes with the alps lifestyle; the fondue, the steaks, the mulled wine. Before France, I lived in the UK. Love the London markets. I also lived in Spain. Love the jamon iberico. I'm a fan of the south of France too, can't get enough of the colour of the Mediterranean sea. Anyway..., I travel, I observe and I stash away ideas in my head, and then I sit in my mountain pad, and I write.'
