Sometimes life isn’t fair for Mabel Chase. Like for instance she has to invite EVERYONE in her class to
her birthday party or she won’t get any presents. And her school pack lunches are AWFUL. And when she goes on holiday she doesn’t get a MINUTE to relax. But none of that matters in the end . . . because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT!
