Hazel Green — Odo Hirsch

'Sometimes you really are terrible, Hazel.' 'Good, thought Hazel. Everyone should be terrible sometimes.' Each year, on Frogg Day, a fabulous parade fills the streets but children are not allowed to take part. So Hazel Green decides to adopt an unusual approach in an attempt to secure a place for herself and her friends in the festivities. Hazel Green is a very determined young lady, and in this beautifully plotted tale, we discover how a little determination can go a very long way as Odo Hirsch weaves a compelling narrative with fantastic characters.
