Mabel lives with her parents in The Mermaid Hotel, by the sea. Mabel likes to keep an eye on the comings and goings of all the guests. Then one day a particularly in-ter-est-ing old lady comes to stay. There is something very suspicious about her, with her growly voice and her heavy trunks and her beady-eyed tortoise. And why does no one know her REAL name? There can only be one answer, Mabel decides ... this guest is a SUPERVILLAIN. But even supervillains have a soft side, and as an unlikely friendship grows between the pair, their fantastical exploits take them well beyond the corridors of their seaside home.©2019 Sophie Dahl (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Mysteries Mystery & Suspense Science Fiction & Fantasy Fiction Fantasy Feel-Good Friendship

Critic reviews

'The book is a thing of wonder' (David Walliams)
' ... this quirky, imaginative story is a delight … Vividly illustrated, this is a witty and gently moving debut.' (The Daily Mail)
' ... it’s swashbuckling and mysterious whilst still being very easy to follow.' (Dolly Alderton, bestselling author of Ghosts)
'This book is one of those books you dreamt of reading as a child. That you wished you could write as an adult. One that you’re so glad exists so your own child can read. It’s a proper children’s book.' (Laura Dockrill, author of What Have I Done?)
'Madame Badobedah manages to feel both fresh and classic at the same time.' (Anna James)

This children's story was too complex for my little girl. she got lost in. I listened to it all, it is incredibly short. I felt the plot needed development apart from the main characters little happens in the actual story. Perhaps this will be better as part of a series, when actual adventure takes place?
