Jemima Jones and the Revolving Door of Doom

by Joanne Macgregor

Jemima Jones is a little girl with an enormous imagination. She loves adventures, exploring and getting to put her fingers on great big machines because, most of all, she loves to press buttons!

At the mall with her father, her good friend Ravi Naidoo, and Ravi’s spoilt brat of a sister, Jemima comes face to face with a gang of dangerous robbers, and gets involved in a bigger adventure than even she could have imagined! Who is the man with the dagger tattoo? Will she get to press more buttons? And just how fast can a revolving door go?

Laugh out loud with Jemima as she gets to save the day in her own, special way!

Reviews

This is such a nice and funny story for children and adults alike. Jemima (and her friend Ravi) is an adorable child with big imagination and she likes to push buttons. She also likes to do other things with cable ties and sticky tape and it is written so charming that it reminds an adult why we shouldn't see things like this as misbehaviour but healthy imagination. I just wished the book would have a few illustrations to capture the attention of the very little ones.
I will definitely read another Jemima Jones story to my children and for myself!

What a tale of naughtiness, Jemma Jones is LOL good. When Children are being imaginative but we see it as bad behavior...
