Isadora is dreading the maths test on Monday so, with the help of her naughty cousin Mirabelle, she decides to fake being ill with the magic pox to stay at home. When the magic pox potion goes wrong and Isadora's house is invaded with magic pox fluffballs, she learns that maths isn't so bad after all-especially with the help of a mum like hers!Isadora Moon is special because she's different. Her mum is a fairy, her dad is a vampire, and she's a bit of both. When Isadora's teacher announces the class are having a maths test on Monday, Isadora gets a nervous feeling in her tummy. She really doesn't like tests . . . or maths! Maybe, Isadora could pretend to be ill so she can stay at home instead? Isadora calls her naughty cousin Mirabelle for help and she gives her a spell that will help Isadora get out of the test. To Isadora's delight, it works! But between a potion mishap and magic pox fluffballs bouncing around all over the place, Isadora starts feeling a bit guilty. Luckily, her mum is on hand to help set things right and together they come up with a new, magical way to say goodbye to the magic pox and even make revising for the maths test fun! With irresistible pink and black artwork throughout by author/illustrator Harriet Muncaster, Isadora Moon is a unique heroine with an out-of-this-world family!
