The Bumper Book of Betsey Biggalow — Malorie Blackman

This is the second book of stories about the lively Betsey Biggalow and her day to day life on a West Indian island. While full of humour and the stuff of everyday life, Malorie Blackman paints a lively and evocative portrait of rural life on a tropical island packed with characters that are so real you feel you actually know them.
