Princess Milly wants to create the perfect Birthday celebration for her friend Ella but, try as she might, her magic always gets muddled up! From cupcake chaos to a giant cakey crisis, Milly's spells keep spinning out of her control. This is the first in a wonderful new series of sparkly funny books, perfect for little girls everywhere who can learn, along with Milly and all the princesses at Rainbow Towers, that friendship is a spell that always works.
This is brilliantly structured so that it holds the interest when read aloud rather as a good joke before arriving at its punchline - Nick Sharratt's bright, simple pictures look almost as though an inspired child had produced them - and that may well be why children respond to them so warmly
