With the homeland under German fire and the mortal coil wound tight, the true story of Violet Macdonald is revealed. It tells of how this young woman from north east Yorkshire rises up from the strife of daily life, to find her way to a place that she never believed possible. Violet’s story is not so much about an extraordinary life, but of an ordinary, working-class, Yorkshire-woman experiencing extraordinary times from 1916-1952.

Five letters of the alphabet experience a feeling of exclusion when children sing their ABC’s. After some prompting from their Alphabet family, LMNOP decides to take matters into their own hands and create a snappy rap that makes their letters not only memorable, but fun.
I purchased this delightful book for my grand nephew who is a middle child. He may not yet know what that means but will some day. I think this introduction to the middle concept is brilliant.
A fun and wonderfully illustrated alphabet book for all new readers with just a little more.” Shelagh Barrington“Loved this story. Very cute. 7-year-old was interacting with alphabet words. 5-year-old was following intently. Loved the pictures. My Niece, the teacher, I just read that book! Really fun! Wish I was still teaching K! Also a good message for feeling left out. It was funny too!” Brenda Milicevic
