Our much loved Violet Mackerel is now in paperback!

Violet Mackerel thinks she would QUITE LIKE to own the blue china bird at the Saturday markets.

This is not just a SILLY WISH.

It is instead the start of a VERY IMPORTANT idea.

But what she needs is a PLOT.

  • A BRILLIANT plot. Violet is a much loved character for girls 5+, with her thoughtful, determined and positive can-do attitude, and her creative ways to find solutions to everyday problems. 
  • Depicts a positive, warm and supportive family environment. 
  • Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot was Honour Book in the 2011 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year Awards, Younger Readers category.
