Sinopse

In "Dotty Dimple at School," Sophie May presents a charming tale rich with the vibrancy of childhood imagination and adventure. This novel showcases May's distinctive literary style, characterized by lively descriptions and engaging dialogue that breathes life into Dotty, a spirited young girl navigating her school day with a blend of curiosity and mischief. The book, situated within the context of late 19th-century children's literature, reflects the societal expectations of education and behavior, while also challenging these norms through Dotty's endearing escapades and clever insights. Sophie May, a pseudonym for the American author and journalist, gained prominence in the realm of children's literature during a pivotal era when women's voices in writing were gaining recognition. Her own experiences as a teacher and her keen observations of youthful behavior informed much of her writing, allowing her to authentically capture the joys and challenges of childhood. May's contributions not only entertained young readers but also served as subtle reflections on societal expectations of girls during her time. "Dotty Dimple at School" is a delightful read for both children and adults alike, inviting readers to rediscover the whimsical aspects of youth. May's ability to portray the trials and triumphs of a young girl'Äôs school life will resonate with anyone who cherishes the innocence and wonder of childhood.

    "A beautifully funny story - effortlessly brilliant." -  Romesh RanganathanRunning a bustling café is Hope's family's dream - it's just not hers! While Dad and Gran battle it out in the kitchen, Mum tries to balance the books while serving quiche to hordes of hungry pensioners. Meanwhile Hope's dramatic sister Stacey is determined to turn all of life into a stage and her "wishes-he-was-on-Wall-Street" cousin Connor decides to buy novelty costumes to advertise the business. And then Auntie Rita rocks up...Café Crumble is tipping straight into Café Chaos! Luckily for her family, Hope is there to save the day, though ideally this wouldn't involve dressing up as a giant ice cream and dancing outside the school gates.
    You'll laugh (a lot), you'll cry (with even more laughter), you'll develop a strange yearning for caroons (whatever they are!). Welcome to Café Chaos!
    "This funny and relatable story will appeal to fans of Jacqueline Wilson, as well as children who, like Hope, have to stand up to their families to make their wishes heard." - The Bookseller
