Lucky Isadora – she’s won a holiday in the sun for herself and her family in an art competition. At first everything seems perfect – a bit bright for her vampire dad but he loves the hotel spa – but a surprise meeting with her mermaid friend Marina shows Isadora what her mum suspected: the sea is full of litter.
Fortunately, working as a team, fairies, mermaids and vampires can clean up the mess and persuade the humans to change their ways too. This is another lively and engaging story in this excellent series, mixing a fun adventure with an important message, deftly delivered. Half-vampire, half-fairy, Isadora is 100% brilliant especially for those growing in reading confidence.
Isadora Moon is special because she's different. Her mum is a fairy and her dad is a vampire and she's a bit of both. When Isadora wins an amazing holiday for her whole family she's ready for sun, sea, and sand! But there's work to be done when she and her mermaid friend Marina discover a baby turtle in trouble. Can Isadora help the turtle find a way home?

I now want to read all the Isadora Moon books. I love Isadora!
This book was incredible. 'Isadora Moon Goes on Holiday' is about a girl who is half-fairy and half-vampire. In this story, Isadora enters a competition to win a family holiday and she actually wins! On holiday she saves a turtle with the help of her mermaid friend. I liked Isadora's little sister who reminded me of mine.
I love the illustrations and especially like how they're all done in black, white and pink, my favourite colour.... Read Full Review
Isadora Moon is really cool because she's half fairy and half vampire and in this story she goes on a tropical holiday which turns out really interesting.
In this book about Isadora, she goes on a tropical holiday and meets her mermaid friend who helps her come to the rescue of a baby turtle which has got stuck because of the dangers of not recycling and damaging our planet. I really liked this book because it's got lots of animals in it and it had a really nice message. Any story about a fairy who is also half-vampire is going to be great! My favourite bit was when Isadora and her family went to meet her mermaid friend's family underwater. I'm 7 years old and I really enjoyed it and found it very easy to read so I think this book would be good for boys and girls aged 6 - 8 years old.... Read Full Review
A fun adventure about a little girl who is half vampire and half fairy going on holiday.
Milo: I really liked this book because Isadora went on holiday and she had a fun adventure. I really enjoyed reading it and want to read more books about her and her funny family. My favourite bit was when they were cleaning the sea. Mum: My son really enjoyed reading this with me. The step by step process of going on holiday was great as he could relate to every step but it was interesting to read. Would also suit someone going on a plane for the first time as it would prepare them. The magical aspect made everything more interesting and fun. Great to be able to have a conversation about littering in a child-friendly way too. Really suitable for anyone starting on their first chapter books or a child reading with a parent....
