In a nutshell: Daisy does trick or treating | Spending time with the irrepressible Daisy is always fun, and with their short chapters, large print and lively pictures Kes Gray’s books are perfect for children reading on their own. As Hallowe’en approaches Daisy’s classmate Jack Beechwhistle regales his friends with spooky stories (the water in their playground comes from a wicked well! Some mums are witches!). Daisy’s not sure she wants Hallowe’en to come at all, and sadly her efforts to Hallowe’en proof their house don’t impress Mum! A typically lively story with just the right mix of creepy thrills and laughs.
Fans of Daisy will also enjoy Wendy Meddour’s Wendy Quill stories, or Kate Pankhurst’s Mariella Mysteries, which also star determined little girls with big imaginations. ~Andrea Reece
It's Halloween and Daisy is going trick-or-treating for the very first time. In the dark ...in the fog ...with a vampire ...armed only with a torch and some silly string. GULP! The funny, spooky and totally troublesome new tale from the bestselling Daisy series.
Daisy, with her perfectly round face, determined, beady eyes and severe Joan of Arc coif, is a veritable icon of juvenile intransigence. Publishers Weekly
