Daisy is going on holiday! In an actual plane to actual Spain! It's so exciting! She's never seen a palm tree before, or eaten octopus, or played zombie mermaids, or made so many new friends! TROUBLE is, five of them are small and cute and furry kittens! And guess who wants to be their new English Mum? |

In Daisy's guide to life, nothing is quite black and white. The trouble with life is it's so not fair. The trouble with Mums is that you can't swap them for other mums when you need to. And the trouble with being grounded is it's so boring. You absolutely can't go anywhere at all. No hopping jumping, flying or parachuting... Daisy's got ever so much time to think about what she's done. Really, it wasn't her fault. If her pocket money hadn't run out, and if someone hadn't dropped a strawberry dib-dab on the pavement and if strawberry dib-dabs weren't Daisy's absolutely favourite sweet... Who knew that it had invisible red germs that are so totally teensy and that Auntie Sue says give you tummy trouble? Daisy's trips to the loo are interspersed with hilarious musings about the trouble with everything, from her goldfish Freddie who thinks it's a dolphin, to playing nicely at Gabby's house, to the school name-caller Jack Beechwhistle, to remote control cars and hosepipes that don't do as they're told. Now, if only Daisy can find a word to rhyme with hippopotamus, she and Gabby can magic next door's cat into a hippo. When she's un-grounded and off the loo, of course... |

Christmas is a time of peace, when all is calm? Not if you're Daisy, who has been extremely excited about Christtmas since September. And when Daisy is excited, trouble will surely follow!

But, as ever with Daisy, things don't go quite according to plan and when the Baby Jesus dolly's head wobbles and falls off, total Christmas chaos ensues! |

Zippo doesn't want to be an ordinary hippo. He wants to be super! Being good at swimming and splashing in mud aren't really superpowers, though. Perhaps he can fly like his friend Roxi.

This fantastically funny superhero will be flying into children's imaginations everywhere! |
