Members Reviews:
Nelly and the Quest for Captain Peabody
With twenty one short chapters, just over 130 pages, and colourful illustrations, this is ideal for children moving on to longer chapter books. My eight year old daughter absolutely adored this story of Nelly, who heads off on a quest to find her long lost father, with only her turtle, Columbus, to keep her company.
Captain Bones Peabody has gone sailing around the world, many years before, and had not returned. Although Nelly cannot remember her father, she is determined to find him and - when she is determined to do something â she generally does. This is a fun and exciting read and Nelly is a brave and resourceful heroine and a great role model for girls. So, join Nelly on her quest and sail off on adventures with her to distant parts of the world.
This book is full of quirky characters and everything has a real sense of the absurd about it â from Nellyâs mother and her compulsive knitting to the many odd characters that Nelly meets along the way. A delight to read and a great addition to any childâs bookshelf.
