Overview
The Diary of Wiska Wildflower is a charming new diary-format series from Harriet Muncaster, the beloved creator of Isadora Moon. This 2-book paperback collection follows Wiska, a small and sweet mouse-like heroine, as she navigates starting fresh at a brand-new school and later stumbles into a shimmering underground adventure filled with mystery. Packed with Muncaster's signature full-color illustrations and told through cozy, funny diary entries, these stories capture the everyday worries and wonders of childhood friendship, courage, and belonging in a way that feels instantly relatable to young readers everywhere, including reluctant readers.

About the Books
Book one, The New School, introduces readers to Wiska Wildflower on the eve of her first day at Inkcap's Academy in the whimsical town of Twitching. Written entirely in diary form, the story unfolds through Wiska's nervous, funny, and heartfelt entries as she worries about making friends and finding her way around a strange new place. Muncaster's warm, expressive full-color illustrations bring every page to life, making the format especially inviting for newly independent readers moving on from early chapter books. Book two, The Crystal Cave, continues Wiska's story as her world at Inkcap's Academy expands with a new mystery to uncover. Told in the same intimate diary style, it deepens the friendships from book one while adding a layer of gentle, spooky adventure. Together, the two books offer a satisfying arc of growth for Wiska, moving from anxious uncertainty toward the confidence that comes from facing the unknown with friends by her side. The bite-sized diary entries make both books ideal for bedtime reading, independent reading practice, or read-aloud sessions at home or in the classroom. Fans of illustrated, character-driven series will recognize the same tender humor and visual charm that made Muncaster's Isadora Moon books so popular with young readers and their families.
