Summary from Stripes Publishing
Angela knows best! Whether it’s trying to succeed as a top model,
proving that her head teacher wears a wig, or finding herself out of her
depth on a spa weekend, she’s determined to make a splash! Angela Nicely is the first book in this fantastically mischievous series. Perfect for little girls who are fans of Dirty Bertie.
Nayuleska's thoughts
Angela is
a scream! She is so funny the way she gets convinced about something and then
throws everything into proving the point or doing what she sets out to do. She
frequently thinks in and out the box, manages to have her plans backfire on her
in funny ways, and makes her mother cringe whenever she says a certain word.
The illustrations heightened Angela's appeal, I loved seeing Angela's stinky
self in the 1st story, the sweet sea themed outfit in the 2nd story and she has
mega cute bunny slippers in the 3rd. I'm convinced they would be pink, if they
were in colour. I liked how her bow is always prominant - she even has one on
her swimming outfit!
