Beatrice and the London Bus Francesca Lombardo Revised edition

Once upon a time - during the Year of the London Bus (2104) ... Beatrice has a dream - she wants to be a Bus Driver. But it's not easy when your Mum is a dream-flusher and kills all your dreams. When Beatrice sees a model of a Routemaster Bus in a shop, she's determined to have it and to turn it into a big talking London Bus that she can drive. And one day, guess what? Beatrice meets a talking Bus in the streets of London, only special people can hear. She's one of them. Did she make her wish come true? Has she suddenly turned into a wizard, even though her dream was to be a bus driver? No - she is not tall enough to be a wizard - Beatrice thinks. Was it just a DREAM, then?
