What to expect
Daffodil Patterson is a small girl with BIG plans - it's really not her fault that they always seem to go wrong!
A brilliantly funny series for young readers, from the author of The Worst Class in the World. Perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart's books.
Daffodil is eight years old and the youngest in her family. She loves:
- Capybaras (which are a kind of GIANT guinea pig)
- Nirmal-Next-Door (who is her best friend because they agree about most things)
- Bobby dazzlers (which means brilliant ideas)
- Lists (like this one)
Daff is going on a last-minute trip to a mystery resort called SANDY PALACE. Dad has said it’s going to be 'THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER'. Except ... when they get there there’s no SAND and there’s no PALACE. It’s a caravan site that smells bad AND it’s raining. It's probably going to be THE WORST HOLIDAY EVER. Can Daff and Nirmal come up with a bobby dazzler to save the holiday?
'I love this. A delight to read aloud' Sally Nicholls, award-winning author
