Jacqueline Harvey talks about writing!

Dear Friends,

My best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey has made some videos talking about writing my adventures.  You can take a peek here. 

I hope you're all having a great school holiday if you're in Australia - and enjoying the new school year is you're in England and the United States.  Wherever you are in the world, I hope to meet you soon.

Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xoxox

Do you like to colour in?

Hello Friends,

Do you like to colour in?  I do - it always has a very calming effect on me.  Mrs Shillingsworth, our housekeeper, loves to colour in with me (although she always pretends that she's only doing it to keep me company when I'm home from school).  So, I am very excited that there will soon be colouring in pages on my best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey's website, www.jacquelineharvey.com.au  Check there over the coming weekend to find them!  There will be all of my book covers as well as this gorgeous cover for Clementine Rose's first adventure that you can print off.

Lots of love,

Alice-Miranda xx

Meet Clementine Rose!

Hello Friends,

 

I hope you enjoy meeting Clementine Rose in Jacqueline Harvey's first ever Book Trailer.  The clever ladies at Random House Australia made it and it's very sweet.  I especially love the music.  I'm hoping to have one about my stories soon and I'll let you know as soon as it's done.  In the meantime enjoy Clementine Rose and her gorgeous tea cup pig Lavender.  Watch carefully though - there are some cute moves that you might not see the first time through.  Have a wonderful weekend.  I'm going to be very busy helping Jacqueline Harvey with my next adventure, Alice-Miranda In Paris.

 

Lots of love,

The real Alice-Miranda?

Hello Friends,

Last week, I had to look twice when these photographs arrived.  I thought it was me!  But this is actually Grace.  She dressed up for her school's Book Week Parade and looks amazing.

If you dressed up, I'd love to feature you on the blog too, so just send the photos to my best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey at her email address jacqueline@jacquelineharvey.com.au

I'm really enjoying hearing what you all think about the new book, Alice-Miranda Shows the Way.  It was such a great adventure - and I love that Bony has a new friend too.

Have a great week at school - happy Spring to all my Australian friends and happy Autumn and Fall to my British and American friends.  I know some of you in England and America are starting school this week, so all the best for a wonderful year.

Loads of love,

Alice-Miranda xoxox

Clementine Rose and the Surprise Visitor

Hello Friends,
I am so excited that my new friend, Clementine Rose has had her first adventure listed on the Get Reading Program for 2012.  The book is officially out in the shops next Saturday! This is what the Get Reading catalogue says about Clementine Rose and the Surprise Visitor.

Clementine Rose lives in Penberthy Floss in a large,ramshackle house with her mother, Lady Clarissa, butler Digby Pertwhistle and a very sweet little teacup pig called Lavender. When her scary Aunt Violet arrives unexpectedly, the household is thrown into disarray. What is it that Aunt Violet really wants and what is she carrying in her mysterious black bag? If you loved Enid Blyton when you were growing  up, your little girl will love Clementine Rose.

Recommended for children age 5+

 

I hope you love her adventures as much as I do!

Have a great week,

Alice-Miranda xoxo

 

Book Week Dress Ups!

This is my good friend, Lucy, who as you can see, dressed up as me for her school Book Week parade.  Did you dress up too?  Would you like to have your photo on the Alice-Miranda blog site?  if you would, please email it to jacqueline@jacquelineharvey.com.au and I'm sure that she will post it here too.

I hope you had a wonderful Book Week!

Bye for now,

Book Week Dressing Up

Hello Friends,

This week I had the pleasure of seeing quite a lot of girls dressed up as me for their Book Week Parade.  I was hoping that if you dressed up this year, you could send a photo to my best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey at her email address jacqueline@jacquelineharvey.com.au and she could put them here on the blog.  My new adventure, Alice-Miranda Shows the Way is now out in the shops.  We are still going to have an official launch but we're going to combine it with the launch of a new friend, Clementine Rose, whose first adventure, Clementine Rose and the Surprise Visitor will be out next month.  I will post more details as soon as the grown ups make some decisions.  I hope you all have a great Book Week.  Last week I met lots of new friends at the Abbotsleigh Literary Festival and I can't wait to hear what they think about the books.

Jacqueline Harvey is helping me work on my next adventure, Alice-Miranda in Paris - which will be out in February next year.

Have a lovely weekend - I'd better get going as it's getting close to bedtime.

Good night!
