After Billy Brute burns down his old school - and gets away with it - his parents have to find him a new one. St Lemons say they'll take him, but little does Billy know that St Lemons have a secret weapon: Enter Miss Wanda . . .
Her glasses are spectacular.
Her dress so prim and neat.
But what big eyes, and what big ears...
And what big hairy feet!
Perhaps Billy won't get away with EVERYTHING after all.
With gloriously gothic illustrations from bestselling Chris Mould, and an alternative back-to-school message, this fabulously dark tale is perfect for parents looking for the picture book equivalent of Roald Dahl's twisted tales.
Issy has been writing in one way or another since her first job in public relations many years ago. She later became a full-time folk musician and songwriter, touring the British festival and folk club circuit with her musician husband. Today she combines her musical life with painting, and writing for children. Her first picture book, Billy Brute, is published by Simon & Schuster, with a second to follow - both illustrated by Chris Mould. Teaching has always been an important part of Issy’s creative life, and she is an experienced and popular workshop leader with both adults and children. Issy and her husband live in Somerset with Albie the cat.
