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 new series for young readers, from the author and illustrator of The Worst Class in the World. Daffodil is eight years old and the youngest in her family. She loves: - Rocky Road biscuits, but not when they have raisins in them, because they are too like squashed flies - Nirmal-Next-Door (who is my best friend, because we agree about everything except the second-best flavour of Tooty Chew, which he says is red and I say is yellow and I am right). - BOBBY DAZZLERS, which means brilliant ideas - Lists Daff's latest Bobby Dazzler of an idea involves entering the Chipping Grimley Village Talent Show and winning £25 and getting her picture in the local paper so she can become WORLD FAMOUS. But first she needs to practise the trombone so she can win the competition. And before that she needs to get a trombone . And to start off with, she'll need to raise £25 to buy a trombone from the charity shop. Luckily, her trusty (and only slightly misbehaving) greyhound Colin is by her side for support, as is reliable best friend and fellow genius-ideas-generator Nirmal.
