The Adventures of Isabelle Necessary by Martii Maclean
The
Adventures of Isabelle Necessary
One gutsy eleven-year-old, a cool beach
town, a hilarious crew of friends and oodles of adventures.
Once upon a beach, there was a girl called
Isabelle Necessary. A girl with an unusual name and a rather extraordinary
life. She roams around a sleepy beach town with her loyal team of friends.
Follow Isabelle, Tammy, David, Nin, Draino
the cat and Champ the wonder dog as they navigate one
sticky situation after another and figure out how to turn a frog into a movie
star, deal with a never-ending milkshake and escape being trapped in a
lighthouse.
The type of book that brings back childhood
memories and captures the essence of being a free-spirited kid.
Perfect for teachers and educators as the
book comes with a teacher’s resource guide and student maker kit by Isabelle
Necessary herself. Middle-grade reading level.

I’ve had so many adventures with my friends
at Saggy Beach that I thought I’d write a book
and share all the fun stuff with you.
Sometimes I’m not sure how to do something,
so I ask one of the oldies in the retirement village.
They know loads of amazing things and they are very happy to
help and lend me all kinds of cool equipment.
If you’re not sure how to do some of the fun stuff in my book
then ask someone to teach you.
Always remember to ask before you borrow things and say thank
you, it’s just the right thing to do.
~Turning
Rocks into Pets~ (and lucky rocks)
You will need:
·
some
interesting rocks. They can be rough or smooth, about 8-10cm, but any size will
do.
·
a
few tubes of different coloured paint
·
a
tube of craft glue
·
a
collection of bobble-eyes, buttons, sequins, glitter, wool and other shiny,
interesting stuff.
Take a good look at your rock and decide where the best place
for the face is. Will it need hair? What colour will make it look the
best?
Once the paint is dry, glue on hair and eyes, glitter and
sparkles.
Always
remember,
trying
new things fills your life
with
amazing adventures.
