The first in a hilarious new series for readers aged 5+ from the creators of The Worst Class in the World
“Author-illustrator dream team Joanna Nadin and Rikin Parekh are back with a brilliantly funny new series perfect for newly independent readers. Disaster Diaries promises loads of madcap fun and hilarious capers with witty illustrations throughout. This is ideal for fans of Pamela Butchart's Wigglesbottom Primary series.”
~Emily
Soon-to-be eight-year-old Daffodil likes the dictionary, the middle bit in custard cream biscuits, and thinking BIG. She does NOT like her cousin Hugo Patterson-Dent, who has ten more gold stars than she does; the biscuit bit of custard creams (but that's OK because her friend Nirmal-Next-Door eats that); or any sort of catastrophe. The trouble is that somehow Daffodil's ambitious plans tend to go pear-shaped .
Daffodil is hoping for the Best Birthday Party EVER. But she hasn't reckoned on Colin, the greyhound with an appetite for everything except dog food. Or the fact that her brother's band Hairy Wasp would break up before they could provide the entertainment. Or the total lack of guests.
Luckily, Daffodil has the knack of looking on the bright side and is soon planning her next absolute bobby-dazzler of an idea!
A former broadcast journalist and special adviser to the Prime Minister (not this one), Joanna Nadin has written more than 90 books for children and adults, including the bestselling The Worst Class in the World series, the Flying Fergus series with Sir Chris Hoy, and the Carnegie-nominated Joe All Alone, which is now a BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated BBC Drama. As well writing award-winning fiction, Joanna is also a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Bristol.
