Violet Mackerel's Remarkable Recovery
Written by Anna Branford, published by Walker Books Australia 2010
Join Violet Mackerel for another warm story as she discovers The Theory of Giving Small Things.
VIOLET MACKEREL has to have her tonsils out. Violet does NOT think this is a good idea. She prefers NOT to have things taken out. But the tonsils have to go. And that’s okay, because maybe Violet will make the most REMARKABLE RECOVERY ever.
The illustrations for the Violet Mackerel series were created with Derwent Inktense pencils and watercolour.

“The books in this series are absolutely delightful. Anna Branford has created an endearing character, in Violet, whose out-of-the-box thinking is as refreshing as it is amusing. Violet’s mix of creativity and pragmatism make for the types of plots young readers will immediately relate to.”
“ Branford’s lively, humorous text is supplemented by Sarah Davis’s wonderful illustrations. Even in black and white her pictures are evocative and full of energy, reinforcing and expanding Branford’s characterisations as well as capturing the loving relationships between Violet and her family.”
