About Opal Moonbaby
When Martha’s friends gang up on her at school, she makes a simple decision: She doesn’t need friends. Friends are stupid!
But it’s the long summer holidays and she has no one to play with. And one day she meets a very intriguing “girl”. Opal Moonbaby has purple eyes and purple hair and has been sent down from her planet to accomplish two tasks: she needs to learn how human beings work… and she needs to make a friend.
What follows is a hilarious and often very moving adventure for 7-9 year old girls about friendship, fun and furry friends from Outer Space!
