Sophie Dahl Ordre des livres (chronologique)

The fabulously eccentric (and secretly kind) Madame Badobedah returns for another escapade in this call to adventure--and ode to female explorers and pioneers--from Sophie Dahl and Lauren O'Hara. Mabel lives with her parents in the Mermaid Hotel, where she keeps an eye on all the guests, particularly her friend, the endlessly fascinating Madame Badobedah. Madame Badobedah, who considers herself part of a long tradition of daring women such as Amelia Earhart and Zora Neale Hurston, has pirouetted through pyramids, swum with mermaids, and helped a triceratops with a toothache. Just opening one of the drawers in her dressing table full of mementos elicits tales of banshees and curses and an exciting new quest: a reverse jewel heist! On a mission to return a priceless "borrowed" emerald, Mabel and her adopted godmother don their best spy costumes and head to the Natural History Museum, where they might just meet an old--very old--friend. But as Mabel discovers, no one is too young or old for adventure, because it's adventuring that makes life worthwhile. In concert with Lauren O'Hara's fantastical illustrations, Sophie Dahl spins a tale of intergenerational friendship that shines like Madame Badobedah's found sea glass: a colorful treasure.

There is something very suspicious about her, with her growly voice and her heavy trunks and her beady-eyed tortoise. And why does no one know her REAL name?

‘In het gouden schemerlicht van een midzomeravond, zo'n avond waarop zich allerhande toverij kan voordoen en zich vaak ook voordoet, midden op een feest gegeven in een wilde, overwoekerde tuin, stond Pierre, omringd door een symfonie van overrijpe rozen, te wankelen op hoogst ongeschikte hakken.’ Op die bijzondere midzomeravond ontmoet Pierre, dochter van een stuntelende botanicus en een betoverende Italiaanse sopraan, de man van haar leven. Ze voelt een tikje op haar schouder en kijkt in de prachtigste ogen die ze ooit heeft gezien. De man met de dansende ogen maakt haar gelukkig.
