"Perfect for young readers who are beginning to gain confidence in reading independently" - Book Trust

Discover FOUR stories in one book. Have no fear, Betsey Biggalow is here! In this collection of stories, Betsey has lots of big ideas for her big adventures! Join her as:

  • She gets new trainers – but not ones as nice as her best friend May
  • Doesn’t quite have the perfect Saturday she wanted
  • Gets in over her head in a game of marbles
  • AND has to help where she didn’t expect to!


This collection of mini adventures by the beloved Malorie Blackman is perfect to share, or for newly independent readers to read alone.

Somewhere between Pippi Longstocking and Tracy Beaker, Betsey Biggalow, who stars in these short, pacey stories, is an imaginative and enquiring girl who is sometimes mischievous but always endearing * Guardian *
