Betty Steady Series

by ,
(33 reviews)

Betty Steady is the ultimate girl power illustrated series for readers aged 7+. It's written by the hilarious Nicky Smith-Dale, who has us laughing and giggling from the very first page. And it's illustrated by Sarah Horne throughout, with no page looking the same!

Long ago and far away lived a twelve-year-old girl who was EXPERT in swordplay and combat (aka a HOTHEAD). That girl was Betty Steady, the daughter of two great knights, tall and strong, fast and with incredibly stylish hair. She protected the people of a land called Wobbly Rock, and she did it fearlessly. Only fearlessness isn't always the way. We need to know when to ask for help, and we need good friends to help us. Plus taking a breather is better than acting without thinking first. Betty is to learn all these very important lessons in this series!

This is a great book series about friendship and fights, and readers, parents and teachers equally love the many pictures throughout, the adventure, the jokes and the simple language, making this an easy set of books to read independently too.
