Dixie O'Day: Up, Up and Away! cover

A runaway hot air balloon, a parrot in search of a new home, and the dastardly Lou-Ella hot on their heels - Dixie and Percy are Up, Up and Away!

Dixie, Percy and their new friend, Ariel, are off on an adventure in the clouds. These first chapter books have one chapter for each night of the week and are full of maps, extra activities, and everything needed to empower a new reader.

“A witty and beautifully designed series for emerging readers” THE SUNDAY TIMES

Dixie, Percy and their new friend, Ariel, are off on an adventure in the clouds. Making a speedy getaway from their archenemy Lou Ella, they find themselves soaring away in a hot-air balloon! But there are stormy skies ahead…

Be swept away with Dixie and Percy in an action-packed airborne escapade from mother-daughter pairing Shirley Hughes and Clara Vulliamy. These first chapter books have one chapter for each night of the week and are full of maps, extra activities, and everything needed to empower a new reader.

“A witty and beautifully designed series for emerging readers” THE SUNDAY TIMES

With text and pictures beautifully complementing one another, these tales of peril and domestic perplexity are a dream to read aloud and tempting for newly fluent readers to manage on their own. Established fans will appreciate familiar characters putting in a cheerful appearance, while those new to the books can revel in the excitement of a story that stands confidently alone. Meanwhile end papers complete with chatty questionnaires, maps and games all add to the satisfying sense of a fully-formed world in miniature. * Independent Bookshop Week Supplement *
