Hazel is nine years old, as long as her bed and as kind as a marshmallow. She and her friends live together in a treehouse in the bush. Every day brings new adventures, sometimes mistakes ... and always imagination and friendship.

This is a hardback edition with embossed cover that makes a beautiful gift.

This is a gorgeous Australian Christmas gift for the imaginative children in our lives.
