'Isla Fisher is hilarious' DAVID WALLIAMS
Isla Fisher began acting as a child and has worked solidly in
television and film for the past 25 years. She has appeared in Home
And Away, The Great Gatsby and Definitely, Maybe, to name a few.
She also studied in Paris to become a clown for two years before
realising that there is not much call for miming 'the wall'! Isla
has played many roles over the years, from a bonkers bridesmaid in
Wedding Crashers to the poster girl for consumerism in Confessions
Of A Shopaholic. But her favourite role has been being a mummy to
daughters Olive and Elula and son Montgomery. Isla has been making
up stories at bedtime for them every night since they were born.
These books are for her children, as a reminder of all the fun they
have at bedtime reading books and sharing stories.
Eglantine Ceulemans spent her childhood reading Belgian comics. In
2007 she joined the Emile Cohl School of Art in Lyon, France,
transforming her passion for illustration into a vocation. She
loves working in an intuitive way, combining humor and sensitivity,
and using different mediums and techniques. Eglantine currently
resides in Lyon.

Fisher's debut novel, is the comic tale of an anarchic babysitter
who causes mayhem. Perfect for reading aloud

Fisher has an incredible knack for comedy, and she's managed to
transfer this to the page in a way which will make six to nine year
old readers chuckle relentlessly
*Bath Life*
Delightful...Full of hilarity
*Parents In Touch*
Marge's crazy tales of pink flamingos and being sawn in half will
entertain anyone who enjoys a giggle. *LIBRARIAN'S CHOICE*
*Reading Zone*
Those who read Marge in Charge will be delighted to see the second
in the series; those who haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting
Marge have a treat in store. Superbly written, full of humour and
with super illustrations to accompany the text, this is a great
read
*Parents in Touch*

*Teach Primary magazine*
'Three family-fun adventures written by actor and comedian Isla
Fisher, who returns with all the energy and fun of her first book,
MARGE IN CHARGE.'
*Fantastic Fiction*
'Marge and the Pirate Baby is another super, family friendly story,
for independent readers by the very talented author Isla
Fisher.'
*Reading Zone*
'Great fun ensues and the children can't wait for the next time
Marge is in charge!'
*Families Gloucestershire*
'I absolutely adored Marge the super adventurous babysitter who is
the same size of seven packets of biscuits topped off with
wonderful rainbow hair and who grew up in a palace (or so she tells
people). The character of Marge was so much fun and everything you
could ever want in a babysitter. Marge and the Pirate Baby is split
into three super fun stories and the illustrations by Eglantine
Ceulemans are absolutely phenomenal and really bring the story to
life.'
*Tales of Yesterday*
'warm and witty, funny and mischievous. A great read for kids, but
also enjoyable for adults to read. A real winner.'
*Frost magazine*
'There are three hilarious stories in this super new series with
heartwarming characters. The stories are enhanced by the great
illustrations'.
*Families Bedfordshire*
'This is an ace second book in this series. I love how incredibly
diverse Marge is. An uplifting read that will be on my reread shelf
especially when I need a pick me up!'
*Nayu’s Reading Corner*
I love Isla Fisher's Marge stories. Marge is bursting with energy,
stories and surprises and you just never know what she's going to
get up to next. Eglantine Ceulemans' illustrations are delightful
and add some extra humour to the stories. The Marge stories are
perfect for reading aloud, especially for 7-9 year olds, and they
will certainly have kids laughing.
*My Best Friends are Books*
Isla Fisher's fantastic story telling is perfectly complimented by
Eglantine Ceulemans' illustrations. I really enjoyed the quirky
unpredictable characters, I was smiling from beginning to end.
Anyone one with children should get these books immediately. You
won't regret it. Isla Fisher has struck gold with Marge in Charge
and Marge and the Pirate Baby. I can't wait to see what she does
next.
*My Trending Stories*
Isla superbly taps into the sort of things that make children
giggle with delight (particularly all the bits where adults are
made to look like complete fools!) Both stories are fab, and though
we've often cocked a snook (whatever that means) about "celebrities
writing children's books" it's blatantly obvious that Isla knows
her stuff, and can write up a storm, producing a pair of perfect
page turners.
*Read It Daddy*
In these three new stories, the energy that was such a feature of
the first book is very much in evidence...Young readers whether
reading for themselves or listening at bedtime, will gasp at the
chaos while relishing in the fun. Fisher fills her pages with
moments children will enjoy, turning the pages eagerly to find out
what awful near disaster threatens while knowing that Marge is in
Charge.
*Books for Keeps*
full of the humour young children love... Marge as a character is
such fun and very much a Mary Poppins for the 21st Century.
*School Librarian*
I absolutely adored Marge the super adventurous babysitter who is
the same size of seven packets of biscuits topped off with
wonderful rainbow hair and who grew up in a palace (or so she tells
people). Marge and the Pirate Baby is split into three super fun
stories and the illustrations by Eglantine Ceulemans are absolutely
phenomenal and really bring the story to life. Isla Fisher has
created wonderful stories to share with all the family and to
inspire children and adults alike. Full of humour and warmth this
book will make you smile long after reading it
