What’s it about?

The story.

Daisy Brewster is back for a third funny, doodle-stuffed diary. Still living in the shadow of her super-celebrity cousin Maxxy Bloom, Daisy keeps juggling school, family chaos, friendship ups and downs and her own very unfamous ambitions, all in her trademark list-making, aside-throwing voice. Written entirely as Daisy's illustrated diary, this continues the sparkling series for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries, mixing laugh-out-loud comedy about fame and frenemies with a warm, grounded heart. A perfect next helping for readers who have followed Daisy from The Frenemies onward.
