Another title from the 50 Great Reads list, Billie B Brown: The Secret Message. This is a new series of easy to read chapter books by Sally Rippin. Nice easy to read print and a good introduction to young readers of the concept of the 'chapter' rather than say a picture book format. In this series Billie has had a range of adventures and this one sees her at the seaside with her Mum and Dad, 'Billie's mum reads a book under a beach umbrella. Her dad reads the newspaper. Sometimes they even fall asleep. Can you imagine? They are absolutely no fun at all!'. Billie sets off to build the biggest sandcastle and she sees two other girls have already built a great sandcastle and she feels little jealous and when Mum suggests she join the girls, she also feels a little shy. Eventually joins the other girls and the story develops from there, you'll have to read it to find out about the secret message.
This a delightful series to be shared with a new reader, or to encourage them to start reading on their own.
I think need to move away from the titles in the junior section of 50 Great Reads, and my next review may see me wandering into adult territory.
