Penny Dreadful cooks up a Calamity by Joanna Nadin
My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE. But I do not mean to be dreadful - in fact, I am actually trying to turn over a new leaf... You see, sawing Bridget Grimes in half for the school show was supposed to be a GOOD THING. And I didn't mean to get up to any SHENANIGANS on the school trip. Plus I worked extra-especially hard on the CAKE OF DREAMS for Mum's birthday... but somehow it still turned into a HUGE calamity. Three fantastically funny Penny Dreadful adventures in one fab book! Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
Don't miss the comic genius that is Penny Dreadful, a wickedly funny new creation and worthy contender to Horrid Henry* The Bookseller *
A brilliantly written and illustrated laugh-out-loud book recommended for children aged 7+ years. The book contains three hilarious stories about a little girl called Penelope Jones (aka Penny Dreadful to her family) and her 'brilliant ideas' that never quite go according to plan. From hairdressing to abandoned dogs to huge swarms of locusts...mayhem, drama and disaster are all part of a day's work for Penny Dreadful and her best friend Cosmo the Jedi! * First 4 Dads *
A wonderful book for children and child-like adults; particularly those with a slightly silly sense of humour, a love of chaos, and an aptitude to giggle in a group. * An awfully big blog adventure *
Chortlingly good fun, this girl would give Horrid Henry a run for his money. * The Evening Echo (Cork) *
She’s very clumsy, but we love her... [A] lovely series of books about a clumsy little girl. Be prepared for hilarious tales of the mishap, mayhem and misadventure that comes hand-in-hand with Penny. * Primary Times *
