There’s something going on, and it isn’t even Christmas. It’s a DILEMMA. The Rietta is sad because it’s lost. And we absolutely have to find the Rietta a home because the sadder the Rietta becomes the more its spots fade. At bathtime, the very imaginative Henrietta sails away to do some serious explorification along with her friends Olive Higgie, Albert, and the Rietta—which Henrietta explains is "a particular kind of creature who helps you clown around." They head for the Wide Wide Long Cool Coast of the Lost Socks, having heard that there just might be a small colony of Riettas living there. They talk to the lost socks and have no choice but to trust a tennis sock, and their journey becomes more frightening from there. Will Henrietta make it to her destination? Will she find a new home for the fading Rietta? Will she find Olive Higgie and Albert again?

  • Henrietta and the Perfect Night

    Martine Murray

    Hardcover (Allen & Unwin, Oct. 1, 2017)
    Hello everybody, it's me. Henrietta the Great Go-Getter, and I'm having a big think. Right now I'm thinking I'd like a baby sister, so I can dress her up in different sorts of hats. But Mum says we'll have to wait and see. I'm terrible at waiting. Meanwhile, I'm an explorer of life, and that includes trees, bugs, animals and all mysteries. I'm going to school for the very first time, which means I might have to go as a spy so that I can have a secret peep inside. When Henrietta sees Olive Higgie crying in the classroom, she goes on a rescue mission and finds that you only need one friend in a room full of strangers to feel perfectly happy. Henrietta's stories are full of funny thoughts and discoveries, and maybe the best are the ones that take a long time to come.
