In a nutshell: Daisy discovers there’s such a thing as too much chocolate | The combination of chocolate, more chocolate and being asked to look after the class hamsters over the Easter holidays proves too much for Daisy (from an adult perspective anyway) and boy, does she get herself into hot (chocolatey) water. Kes Gray and Nick Sharratt’s boisterous, quick-thinking young heroine is irrepressible however – one of the reasons readers love the stories about her so much – and she still ends up having her chocolate and eating it. Children will recognise Daisy’s world and understand completely the temptations she succumbs to, even if they’d never dare do the things she does. Terrific storytelling for newly independent readers.
Fans of Daisy will also enjoy Wendy Meddour’s Wendy Quill stories, or Kate Pankhurst’s Mariella Mysterieswhich also star determined little girls with big imaginations. ~Andrea Reece
