Another brilliant book Ella Okstad has been working on recently is this little corker from Oxford University Press: 'Nelly and the Quest for Captain Peabody!'

One girl. One turtle. One epic voyage! If you like Pippi Longstocking, you'll love Nelly Peabody. 

When Nelly says she's going to do a thing, she does it, whatever it is. 

Learn to juggle china cups? Of course! 

Live on lemons for a month? Why not? 

Set out in a boat with knitted sails to find her long-lost father, with only her turtle Columbus for company? Absolutely! 

And she won't let anything get in her way.
