ISADORA MOON Goes Camping

Chapter ONE Isadora Moon, that's me! And my best friend is Pink Rabbit. He was my favourite toy so Mum magicked him alive with her magic wand. Mum can do things like that because she is a fairy. Oh, and did I also mention that my dad is a vampire? That makes me half fairy, half vampire!

My second best friends are Zoe and Oliver. We all go to the same school together. It's a regular school for human children. I love it! Every morning Zoe and Oliver knock for me and we walk to school together. Mum and Dad always try and avoid opening the door. They are still a bit funny about talking to humans. It was the first day back at school after the summer holidays and I was really looking forward to seeing my friends. As soon as I heard a 'Bang bang' bang on the door, I flew to open it. 'Zoe!' I said leaping on top of her and giving her a big hug. I didn't leap on top

of Oliver because he doesn't like hugs. We started to walk down the garden path together and Pink Rabbit bounced along beside us. Zoe made a tinkling sound as she walked because she was

wearing a lot of jewellery. She wants to be an actress when she grows up and is always dressing up as different people. 'Today I am the Queen!' she told me, twizzling one of her necklaces round her finger and patting the paper crown on her head. 'Queen Zoe!' 'I like your bracelets,' I said. 'Where did you get them?' 'In France!' said Zoe. 'That's where we went on holiday. It was très fantastic. We went there on a ferry boat.' 'Ooh that sounds great, said Oliver. He loves boats. Then she fished in her bag and pulled out another bracelet.

'This one's for you Isadora,' she said. 'From France.' 'Wow!' I said, taking the bracelet. 'Thanks Zoe!' I felt all glowy inside as I put it on. 'And this is for you Oliver,' said Zoe holding out a magnet in the shape of the French flag. 'Cool!' said Oliver. 'Thanks Zoe.' It was very kind of Zoe to bring me something from her holiday but I felt a tiny bit embarrassed that I hadn't got anything for her. 'I can't wait for show and tell today,' said Oliver. 'I've brought photos of my holiday. We stayed in a hotel by the seaside!'
