ShortBookandScribes #BlogBlitz #Recipe from The Adventures of Isabelle Necessary by Martii Maclean @MacleanMartii @rararesources
Welcome to my post as part of the blog blitz for The Adventures of Isabelle Necessary by Martii Maclean. I’m so pleased to be able to share a recipe from the book with you today and would like to thank Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources for the place on the blitz.
One gutsy eleven-year-old, a cool beach town, a hilarious crew of friends and oodles of adventures.
Once upon a beach, there was a girl called Isabelle Necessary. A girl with an unusual name and a rather extraordinary life. She roams around a sleepy beach town with her loyal team of friends. Follow Isabelle, Tammy, David, Nin, Draino the cat and Champ the wonder dog as they navigate one sticky situation after another and figure out how to turn a frog into a movie star, deal with a never-ending milkshake and escape being trapped in a lighthouse.
The type of book that brings back childhood memories and captures the essence of being a free-spirited kid.
Perfect for teachers and educators as the book comes with a teacher’s resource guide and student maker kit by Isabelle Necessary herself. Middle-grade reading level.

~Milkshake Recipe~
(Without a milkshake machine)
Equipment:
- one big jar or plastic shaker with a lid
- thick-shake straws
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk (soy milk and other milks make a delicious milkshake too)
- 1 scoop of vanilla ice-cream
- 1 big squirt of your favourite flavour of syrup/topping
Method:
- put everything in the shaker/jar
- do the lid up tight
- start doing your ‘shaky-shaky-milkshake’ dance and don’t stop until everything is mixed together and there are bubbles on top of the mixture.
- poor the milkshake into a glass and slurp it through a thick, milkshake straw (this makes extra slurp-ful noises)
That sounds great, thank you Martii!
