Molly the Very Best-series
"Molly Best of All" is a series on friendship and dreams, but it’s also about having the world’s most annoying and most fantastic little brother.
In "Molly Best of All 1" Molly starts at a new school. There are lots of children and Molly doesn’t know a single one. Her parents say she’ll soon make new friends, but how? It would be easier if she had her best friend, Ellen. If Ellen doesn’t forget about her now that they don’t see each other every day. Luckily a blonde-haired girl in her new class seems pretty nice.
In "Molly Best of All 2" Molly shares a room with her little brother who has way too much kid stuff. Her room is never like her friends’ rooms who don’t have to share with their siblings. Why do they have to live in such a small apartment? Only think if Molly had her very own room!
