Mavey & Beth's Double Act

In a world where children are under pressure to meet standards and milestone, one little girl learns that doing it your own way is sometimes the best way. Mavey is excited to sing at the end-of-the-year concert. But the Year Two song has whistling in it, and Mavey can't whistle. To make matters worse, Mavey's twin sister Beth has a mighty whistle. Terrified her classmates will laugh at her, Mavey and her family devise a plan to get Mavey whistling. Will Mavey learn how to whistle in time for the big concert? Or will Mavey's toot stay mute?

In Year Three, earrings are everything. Shiny gold stars, diamond studs, dangly rainbows, buzzy bees. Almost everyone's got them. Everyone except Mavey, that is. Mavey's twin sister, Beth, says it's time to join the pierced ear club. Her best friend Woody says earrings are totally silly. And Mum? She just says it's Mavey's choice. But if she wants to fit in, Mavey must face the ultimate horror. A Giant. Crunching. Piercing. Gun. Gulp. When Operation Ear Piercing ends in full-blown chaos, Mavey's left to untangle a mess of pros, cons, sparkles, and self-doubt. Fit in? Stand out? Studs or no studs? Can Mavey figure it out before the whole school finds out the hole truth? A hilarious and heartfelt story about glitter, guts, and growing up.
