Indie in Disguise: Stylist-ing and Other Jobs
Written by Katie Clapham
A funny first chapter book perfect for the child who loves dressing up and imaginary play
Meet Indie, a girl who loves imaginary play, in these full colour illustrated stories – perfect for encouraging independent reading for children aged 5-7.
Hilarious, playful and perfectly true to both imaginary play and family life, this is the first title in a sparky chapter books series for newly independent readers.
Indie is a little girl with a big personality – and quite the flair for the dramatics! What job will she roleplay today? In these four stories, Indie takes on four very important jobs: a librarian, a cleaner, a dentist, and even a stylist – star-shaped sunglasses at the ready! But these jobs are never easy. Indie's dentist chair (balanced backwards on a skateboard) isn't particularly stable, and when Mum doesn't look like Mum anymore in her big floppy hat and fur-trim gloves, Fashionista Indie ponders... Is there such a thing as TOO much style?
The adventures continue in Indie in Disguise: Astronaut-ing and Other Jobs.
Two brothers: one fast asleep, one wide awake!
When Magnus can’t fall asleep, big brother Kasper lets him climb into bed. But NO talking. Little brothers can’t help talking though, and one little question is going to lead them both on a big adventure: why do we sleep in beds?
Out in hardback 7th May 2026.
