Belinda Murrell, one of our best loved authors, has cracked it again with a splendid new series once again celebrating family, friendships, community spirit and girl power. Throw in a simply gorgeous tropical island setting and you have a winning combination.

This is the first in a wonderful new series that middle to senior primary girls will love, by one of my favourite authors, Belinda Murrell ... A really enjoyable story of family, friendship and new beginnings, but also of community involvement and acceptance.

The Beach Shack Café is a cool book for 8-12-year-old girls. It has a really fresh, modern feeling and is a delight to read.

Primary school readers who have ever had to change schools will no doubt relate to Pippa’s fear of starting at a new school and making new friends ... The tone and language is charmingly informal with the effect being the reader will almost feel like they’re taking a sneaky look inside Pippa’s diary.
