The Harriet Clare series is unique in newly independent children's fiction. In the sixth instalment of this popular series, Christmas Fair, join Harriet as she spends the holiday season with all her besties! Here's a little taste from your friend Harriet: OH. MY. GOSH. I love Christmastime sooo, sooo much! I wish it was Christmas Eve right this very minute! NO! NO! NO! NO! Actually, I don't wish this. Oh, well, maybe I do. No, I don't! OH! I might. ARRRRGH! The thing is, I want Christmas Eve to come but I don't want it to be over! So, I want it but I don't want it! Do you ever feel like that? I do all the time for everything that's worth looking forward to-birthdays, sleepovers, decorating the Christmas tree even! Ours looks so pretty in the front window of the lounge room tonight, though. ECLARE and I decorated it last night and now it's all over. SEE what I mean! Selling Points * Hinkler has driven a huge marketing push for the Harriet Clare series since March 2016, with Louise appearing on a range of ABC radio programs and television shows! * Author Louise Park has total book sales of over 3 million copies, and illustrator Marlene Monterrubio has a bright and fun illustration style perfected after two university degrees. * Harriet Clare is set apart from similar books on the market by its interactivity with the reader - Harriet asks children to participate in writing her diary and requests that the reader colour/draw/write in the book!
