Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering: Volume 1

Product Information

Group Storyboard Activity— Preparation: introduce your class to the concept of a storyboard using examples from film production or comics/graphic novels. Activity: Split the class into groups. Give each group a set of five story dice. They are allowed to roll each die twice. Working together, each group must agree a plot using all the pictures they rolled. They will then convey this plot in a series of panels using a mixture of words and pictures. At the end, each group presents their storyboard to the class. Any reader who fell for Isadora Moon and is ready for something a bit longer and rather darker, will surely love Harriet's new gothic fantasy. The illustrations are simply divine especially as Victoria Stitch with her funky, pointy toed, heeled boots is a fashionista who loves to strut her stuff in melodramatic wiskling style as befits the superbly woven, absorbing narrative. Al yo no leer este género de libros no sabía si me iba a gustar o no, pero no me ha disgustado en lo absoluto.

It’s almost time for the vampire ball, and Isadora can’t wait! There’s just one problem: she’s got to compete in a talent show with the other vampire children. Isadora’s talents aren’t very vampire-y, what if the audience laugh at her? The show must go on, but will Isadora be brave enough to perform. . . ? The ending is left open for further stories and the series will no doubt find instant success among Harriet Muncaster's impressive fan base. Ma tende a tenere tutti lontani da se, perché non la capiscono e non comprendono la sua rabbia e il suo dolore, a parte Celestine ovviamente.

From roasting marshmallows on a campfire to making friends with a mermaid – special things happen when Isadora’s around! Isadora has a wobbly tooth and her mum and dad are more excited about it than she is! Her vampire dad can’t wait to take her to the vampire dentist and have her special little fang framed. Her mum wants Isadora to leave the tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy. This was one of my favourite Victoria Stitch images from the book I created on my degree. I have it hanging on my wall at home. Pink Rabbit is having a nice time for once, eating ice cream! Victoria Stitch after university

Half witch, half fairy, totally naughty! Mirabelle is Isadora Moon’s cousin, who we first meet in Isadora Moon Gets in Trouble.Whole Class Starter Activity—Roll the dice (volunteers could do this). As a class, children volunteer line-by-line suggestions for a story using all the rolled pictures. Un giorno però, accade qualcosa di davvero animalo: una notte, in un diamante con una crepa nera nascono due gemelle, Victoria e Celestine. Mirabelle is looking forward to her family holiday to a fancy witch resort, but when she makes a new friend and meets her match in the mischief stakes, she finds herself in a heap of trouble . . . with dragons involved!

Half vampire, half fairy, totally unique! Isadora Moon is special because she is different. Her mum is a fairy and her dad is a vampire and Isadora is a bit of both. So when they all go camping at the seaside some things might happen that are not quite normal . . .

The Victoria Stitch Series in Order

Con il passare degli anni la sua impazienza aumenta e anche la sua solitudine, anche se non lo ammetterebbe mai e vuole solamente essere vista da tutti. But things don’t quite go to plan, and with flying footballs, out-of-control shoes, and upset teammates, Mirabelle’s dreams of glory don’t look like they’re about to come true. Isadora’s classmates are happy to leave Ava on her own since she clearly doesn’t like them, but Isadora figures out that there’s something more going on beneath Ava’s unfriendly surface. Isadora has been invited to a sleepover, which is always fun, but this time it’s even more exciting because she will be staying at her mermaid friend’s house under the sea!
