'Violet Mackerel's Remarkable Recovery' is the second book of the series 'Violet Mackerel' by Anna Branford, and just as amazing as the first one.

In this story, young Violet learns that she has to go through a tonsillectomy, which is a rather intimidating experience for a girl of her age. But she also comes to know that it can change her voice and take her one step ahead toward her dream of becoming an opera singer. In spite of all the fear and nervousness associated with the operation, Violet keeps looking forward to making a remarkable recovery.

Violet's vibrant imagination and unique way of looking at things make her a truly fascinating character. To make things better, the story comes with the lesson of appreciating the littlest things in life.

The book is short, fast-paced, and perfect for anyone looking for a light read.
