"Good for children comfortable reading longer books on their own." For ages 8-12 years. A French marmot, her funny mountain mates, and their crazy, nocturnal, sports adventures! When Magali's best friend's cousins come to visit, they can't believe it. 'Mishka, you live in paradise with those Big People mountain biking, and you've never gone to watch them?' they said to their cousin, Mishka. The rabbit shook his head. Andy looked at the fat marmot. 'And you?' Magali said, 'I'm not allowed up that far on my own.' 'Good!' said Dangerous, slapping her shoulder. 'You're with us. Come on. Let's follow the chairlift!' The friends soon discover the place where Big People ride. They want to bike, too! But, how is Magali going to ride blue and red trails with her best mate and the cousins, when: a) her papa locks the front door at night, and b) she doesn't have a bike? She needs to find a way. The Tricky Tricks Bike Competition is coming up! Her mountain friends (Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé and Chamois Luc) are taking part. She wants to, too! A funny middle-grade series about trusting instinct, forging friendships, and learning independence. The books have British spelling. For ages 8-12 yrs. Each book can be read as an individual book or as part of the French Marmot Dude Series. The series is available in English, French, Spanish and bilingual versions (English/French, English/Spanish). Question for the Author How did you come up with the character of Magali? 'You know, I really love the French Alps, and looking at all the animals that live in the mountains. I'm Australian, so I had never seen a marmot before moving to France. I worked one summer, for a kids' summer camp, and part of my job was to take the children out on walks. We would go looking for marmots, all of us being very quiet, secretly sneaking up to the holes in the ground, where the entrances to the marmot burrows were. Of course, we would make too much noise and the marmots would disappear into their underground tunnels, but sometimes we were lucky and able to take photos. I think their underground homes took over my imagination, and before you knew it, I had a whole chapter book in my head, with Magali as the principal character!'
