Alice-Miranda In New York

Alice-Miranda 5




Alice-Miranda takes a bite out of the Big Apple!

Alice-Miranda is in bustling New York City. It's a blur of skyscrapers, hot dog carts, chats with zoo animals and classes at Mrs Kimmel's School for Girls, right next to glorious Central Park. Her family's glamorous department store, Highton's on Fifth, has just been renovated but plans for the fabulous re-opening party are going curiously wrong. Is that why Alice-Miranda's father Hugh seems so worried? And why is her new friend Lucinda so shy about inviting Alice-Miranda home?

About the author

Jacqueline Harvey

Jacqueline Harvey worked in schools for many years but has had a passion for storytelling since she was a child.

She is the author of the popular Alice-Miranda, Clementine Rose, Kensy and Max and Willa and Woof series, which have sold almost two million copies in Australia alone. In 2022, she released a picture book, That Cat, illustrated by one of her former students, Kate Isobel Scott. Jacqueline's books have received numerous shortlistings and awards while her picture book, The Sound of the Sea, was a CBCA Honour Book.

Jacqueline speaks to thousands of young people at schools and festivals around the world, and says the characters in her books are often made up of the best bits of children she’s met over the years. While she is not a twin, like Kensy and Max she does have excellent powers of observation and has always thought she’d make a great spy.

Jacqueline lives between Sydney, Australia, and Queenstown, New Zealand, and is currently working on more Willa and Woof adventures, several picture book projects and an exciting new middle-grade story.

Praise for Alice-Miranda In New York

Jacqueline Harvey has penned a tightly-woven and detailed plot in her latest Alice-Miranda adventure. Children as young as seven or eight will delight in Alice-Miranda's adventures and her purity of heart, while older readers (10-12) will enjoy the elevated plot threads, language and relationship subtleties. Alice-Miranda in New York is a story of family, friendship and honesty. I just loved touring this spectacular city once again, via the pages of this gorgeous book, and I loved sharing the journey with Alice-Miranda who is, all-in-all, a remarkable little girl.
