Indie in Disguise: Stylist-ing and Other Jobs cover

Meet Indie, a girl who loves imaginary play, in these full colour illustrated stories – perfect for encouraging independent reading for children aged 5-7.

Hilarious, playful and perfectly true to both imaginary play and family life, this is the first title in a sparky chapter books series for newly independent readers.

Indie is a little girl with a big personality – and quite the flair for the dramatics! What job will she roleplay today? In these four stories, Indie takes on four very important jobs: a librarian, a cleaner, a dentist, and even a stylist – star-shaped sunglasses at the ready! But these jobs are never easy. Indie's dentist chair (balanced backwards on a skateboard) isn't particularly stable, and when Mum doesn't look like Mum anymore in her big floppy hat and fur-trim gloves, Fashionista Indie ponders... Is there such a thing as TOO much style?

The adventures continue in Indie in Disguise: Astronaut-ing and Other Jobs.

It’s ideal for new solo readers or for sharing with an adult either at home or in a KS1 classroom. -- Jill R Bennnett * Red Reading Hub *

It has been nicely illustrated by Emma Farrarons. Children will enjoy following the illustrations alongside reading the text.
It is full of humour and is ideal for children aged around six to eight years of age, depending on their reading ability. Any child who enjoys playing dress up will love this book.
I can't wait to share it with my grandchildren. I think this would be perfect for sharing as well as for early chapter reading.

* Left on the Shelf *
With each individual story being a similar length to the picture books that they are likely to be familiar with, this is a brilliant choice for its intended 5+ audience, who will not only enjoy Katie Clapham’s concise texts but also Emma Farrarons’s bright and jolly illustrations that depict Indie’s exploits beautifully, making this a great choice for those who are just starting to enjoy chapter books. * Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library *
