Victoria Stitch will stop at nothing in her quest for notoriety...
Victoria Stitch refuses to accept the control that the Wiskling Wood has over her future and escapes to the human world. She was supposed to be a queen, and she will stop at nothing to make it happen.'I want to be me! The glorious glittering me . . . People like me here Celestine! They adore me!' Victoria Stitch has escaped from the confines of Wiskling Wood and flown into the human world. Here, she breaks the most sacred of all wiskling laws and speaks to a human. Where she is feared and disgraced in Wiskling Wood, she is adored and revered in the human world. But the net is closing in. There are wisklings who would like to end Victoria Stitch's famous reign in the human world for good. Will her beloved twin, Celestine, be able to warn her in time? And even if she can, will Victoria Stitch listen?
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering. This absorbing miniature melodrama is full of fraught sibling fondness between sweet, gentle Celestine and the marvellously ambitious and snooty Victoria, with Muncaster's own enticing illustrations. * The Guardian *
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering. Packed full of gothic glam and with a hefty dose of sparkles and glitter, Victoria Stitch is a fabulous anti-heroine (...). Harriet Muncaster's irresistible elfin illustrations run throughout, from the deliciously mean Ursuline to the sweetness-and-light Celestine. * BookTrust *
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering. Any reader who fell for Isadora Moon and is ready for something a bit longer and rather darker, will surely love Harriet's new gothic fantasy. The illustrations are simply divine especially as Victoria Stitch with her funky, pointy toed, heeled boots is a fashionista who loves to strut her stuff in melodramatic wiskling style as befits the superbly woven, absorbing narrative. To enter Wiskling Wood is utter enchantment every step of the way; it's hard to leave for whatever reason... * Red Reading Hub *
