Mira a’r Goeden

About this book

This is a perfect choice for a reader venturing into chapter books for the first time. The language, chapter sizes and cartoon illustrations that appear consistently throughout the book mean that this story is sure to grab attention.

This is the third in the Mira series and this time the main character is venturing on a camping trip for the first time, with family friends she hasn’t seen since she was a baby. Things don’t bode well as worries about missing a friend’s party and doing new things cloud Mira’s mood at the start of the trip. After arriving, more challenges arise as Mira tries to develop new friendships with other children – Rory (who is disabled) and his sister Imelda. But with the help of her family and new friends Mira develops the ability to understand others and herself far better. A book that will, undoubtedly, develop empathy in its young readers.
