Our author of the week for the festive period is Sophie Dahl!
Sophie's latest book is called Madame Badobedah and is illustrated by Lauren O’Hara. It follows Mabel, who lives with her parents in The Mermaid Hotel, by the sea. Mabel likes to keep an eye on the comings and goings of all the guests. Then one day a suspicious old lady with a growly voice comes to stay. But why does no one know her REAL name? There can only be one answer, Mabel decides ... this guest is a SUPERVILLAIN.
