The Diary of Wiska Wildflower: The New School

About this book

Wiska Wildflower is a Wiskling: a small fairy-type creature, born from a crystal in Wiskling Wood. Wisklings love nature and live harmoniously alongside it; they live inside hollow trees and build houses and shops between them. 

Told in diary format with plenty of wonderful colour illustrations, character profiles, amazing outfits, and much more, the story opens as Wiska – a creative, sweet, and shy character – starts a new school on the other side of the forest, having to leave her best friends behind. 

The perfect step-up for fans of author Harriet Muncaster’s Isadora Moon series, The Diary of Wiska Wildflower has more text and more detail, meaning it’s ideal for the mid-to upper primary reader. 

Fans of Muncaster’s Victoria Stitch books will also recognise the Wisklings, which were first introduced in that series, with Victoria making an appearance as a background character here too. 

The new school and bullying themes will be relatable for many children, and readers will be rooting for Wiska as she finds her feet, navigating friend dramas and finding her people as well as her talent. 

As ever, Muncaster’s eye for detail and stunning illustration is an absolute wonder; a perfect book for any child who loves fairies, sparkles and rainbows.
