Relish in mischief, adventure and the most unusual family ever, with the bestselling and multi-award-winning Katrina Nannestad.
Frances Bloom lives all alone in a cottage by the sea. She’s having a marvellous time until her nasty teacher, Ms Thistle, learns there is no-one looking after her. Frances needs to find a family, quick smart, or she’ll be sent away to Bleak Island Home for Unwanted Children and Dogs.
As hard as Frances looks, nobody meets her high standards … until she stumbles across a large, honey-coloured bear raiding the rubbish bins … and a garden gnome fishing in the flowerbed. Welcome, Grandma Maude and Grandpa Harold!
Together, this strange trio creates a new family, writing the rules with each misadventure!
Delight in the cheeky antics of eight-year-old Frances Bloom with multi-award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad.
