Praise for Izzy and friends:

""Butchart has enviable comic timing and a shrewd understanding of how primary-aged children think, speak and speculate. Punchy short chapters, genuinely laugh-out-loud humour and Flintham’s zany pictures make the series an absolute must."" – The Bookseller

""Good jokes and lots of fun, and especially good for reluctant readers."" – Sunday Times

This is such an excellent series of books. Easy to read and so entertaining. Izzy and her friends are snowed in at school and the teachers won’t let them leave because the Beast from the East is on its way. Convinced this means there’s a yeti outside, the friends prepare a daring attempt to learn more about yetis by making their way to the portacabin library, in spite of the dangerous creature searching for them in the playground.

It's so funny especially when Mrs Sieth runs out of the school with one shoe and one foot.

It was very fun and fictional my favourite part was when they met the yeti and become friends with him

22 Jul 2024

I liked this book because everybody thought there was a yeti in the playground and called it the beast of the East but actually it was just Maisie's mum in a very white furry coat.

This is a very good book! It's an interesting story about being snowed in at school and them seeing a creature outside so they do research and find out how to capture it but in the end when they capture it it turns out to be Maisie's mum because she was worried about Maisie. I would definitely recommend this book!

I liked Maisie's mum best because she was in a furry white coat but she looked like a yeti and Maisie's friends thought a yeti had captured Maisie. It was really funny.
I would recommend it to any Pamela Butchart fans.

They got snowed in. It was a very funny book . They all thought there was a Yeti outside ! But it was Masie’s Mum!!

20 Dec 2023

I rated this book a 5 because it was funny how they taught there was a yeti in the playground because they saw huge footprints and heard weird sounds personally, I wouldn't blame them for thinking there was a yeti in the playground because of big footprints. I also liked this book because there is no violence in it.

06 Dec 2023

Very funny I love this auther!

04 Sep 2023

This book was super funny with lots of twists and turns.

29 Aug 2023

It's a fictional story with four children character's called Izzy Jodi Masie and Zach. They found what they thought was a giant yeti in there playground at the same time as a snowstorm.

23 Aug 2023

This is a brilliant book for kids as it is an easy but really exiting read tearing you away from the world of reality. I would highly recommend this book to anyone 6 or over as it will make you laugh and make you hold your breath having to know what happens next. One of my favourite characters is a girl called Maisie because she always gives you many surprises as well as her family which is partly why on an extremely snowy day the beast from the east decides to come to her school playground and along with her friends she is determined to save the school from the terrifying beast but not everything goes to plan…

20 Aug 2023

The book was very interesting and Maisie was my favorite character.

17 Aug 2023

My best person is Izzy. I like the part of when there was a yeti. I like the way Pamela Butchart make up stories and turn it into a book .My advice for you would not stop reading and encourage more people to read.

16 Aug 2023

I loved all the weird wailing noises

13 Aug 2023

Lots of it is very funny and exiting

03 Aug 2023

I liked the end of the story because the yeti wasn't actually a yeti it was actually Masies mum looking for her.
