Overview
This four-book paperback collection gathers the complete Izzy the Inventor series by Zanna Davidson, following a science-loving girl who insists magic isn't real until a Fairy Godmother proves otherwise. Whisked into Fairytale Land, Izzy relies on gadgets, grit, and clever thinking rather than spells to solve each new crisis, from a curse threatening a sleeping prince to a time-traveling gnome. Alongside her unicorn companion Henry, she tackles trolls, ogres, and fairy-tale chaos using STEM-minded problem solving. Bright, funny, and warm, this beginner chapter book set suits young readers moving from picture books into independent fiction.

About the Books
Across all four adventures, Izzy the Inventor proves curiosity and invention can be just as powerful as magic. In book one, Izzy doubts anything magical, but a Fairy Godmother sends her to Fairytale Land to rescue a prince from the Mountain of Doom, guided by unicorn Henry. In book two, Izzy returns to break a wicked fairy's curse on Sleeping Beauty's prince, improvising manufactured snow and a homemade flying rig for Henry. Book three brings a bad-tempered, time-bending gnome, pushing Izzy to apply her inventions to problems of sequence and timing rather than simple mechanics. In book four, a tickle machine built for an invention competition accidentally lets teeny tiny ogres loose, and Izzy must out-think the chaos she's caused. Throughout, plots stay light and funny while reinforcing one idea: careful thinking and trying again can solve problems as well as any spell. Henry remains a steady presence across every title, giving readers a familiar face to root for. Written for children moving into their first true chapter books, the stories use short chapters and clear language to keep pages turning, rewarding fans of gadget-loving heroines and gentle fantasy-adventure mashups. The series balances real STEM concepts, from simple machines to timing and sequence, with the comfort of a classic fairy-tale backdrop, making each new title feel familiar yet fresh. It's a set built to reward re-reading.

About the Author
Zanna Davidson writes both fiction and non-fiction for Usborne, where the Izzy the Inventor series showcases her love of blending real-world curiosity with fairy-tale fun. She has a particular fondness for small monsters, talking animals, and heroines who solve problems with their own two hands rather than waiting for rescue. Based in a cottage on the edge of the woods after years in London, Davidson brings a gentle, humorous voice to early chapter books, encouraging young readers to see science and imagination as natural partners rather than opposites, exactly as Izzy does throughout her Fairytale Land adventures.
