The series
At a glance.
Jenny Valentine's illustrated diary series follows ordinary Daisy Brewster as she navigates school, family chaos and friendship ups and downs — all in the shadow of her super-celebrity cousin, Hollywood child star Maxxy Bloom. Told entirely as Daisy's doodle-packed, list-strewn diary, each book mixes laugh-out-loud comedy about fame and frenemies with a warm story about staying true to yourself when everyone wants a piece of the spotlight. The series opens with The Frenemies, as Daisy braces for a spoiled diva and finds a surprising friend instead; continues with The Drama Queens as Maxxy hogs the limelight and Daisy pours herself into drama club; and rolls on with The Superstars. High-appeal, funny and reliably warm-hearted, it is pitched squarely at fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries.

Best read in order (The Frenemies, The Drama Queens, The Superstars): the diary follows Daisy's ongoing life and friendships, though the comedy makes each book easy to pick up.

Daisy's diaries
Daisy's illustrated diary of ordinary life beside her Hollywood-famous cousin.
Each book is a self-contained instalment of Daisy Brewster's illustrated diary, following the same characters without a single overarching plot to finish. The Frenemies introduces Daisy and her celebrity cousin Maxxy Bloom, upending Daisy's expectations of a spoiled diva. The Drama Queens finds Maxxy still sharing Daisy's room while Daisy throws herself into the drama club's big opening night, amid diva dramas, first crushes and gossiping classmates. The Superstars continues the mix of school, family and friendship chaos in Daisy's trademark list-making, aside-throwing voice. Doodle-packed and laugh-out-loud throughout, the series keeps a warm, grounded heart beneath the jokes about fame and frenemies.
