Daisy and the Trouble with Chocolate

Daisy's getting into so much trouble over the Easter holidays! Cheeky, extremely readable and funny young fiction from the bestselling author behind the hilarious OI FROG series.

Another BRILLIANT laugh-out-loud Daisy adventure, from bestselling author of the Oi Frog series, Kes Gray.

Here comes trouble!

Daisy is usually happy with her strawberry Dip Dab lollies or Crunchy Cream biscuits, but when Easter comes round, it's all about chocolate.

And the trouble with chocolate is, it's TOO DELICIOUS. So when Daisy's mum tells her they're going to Chocolate Land as a special treat, she is REALLY excited!

PLUS she has been chosen to look after the class hamsters, Pickle and Pops! This could be the best Easter ever.

But the trouble with hamsters and chocolate is, the two shouldn't mix...

Reviews

Blackman "gets" people . . . she "gets" humanity as a whole, too

—— The Guardian

Powerful

—— Sunday Times

Blackman's absorbing but alarming novel deals with themes of racism and prejudice...Unforgettable

—— Independent

Stimulating and emotionally satisfying

—— Financial Times

A gritty read for older children . . . At times this is a beautiful love story; at other times it is a harrowing and moral tale...

—— Bookseller

Packs some powerful political punches...But Blackman never compromises the story, which is dramatic, moving and brave

—— Guardian

Inter-racial teenage love has never been more painful

—— Amanda Craig , The Times

A tender and compelling story about loving and belonging. Parsons masterfully takes us on a journey where the political is personal, where the most heartbreaking moments are also profound and beautiful. Ella is a character readers will care about, cry with, and cheer for. How High the Moon is a stunning debut that promises to have readers wanting more and more from Parsons

—— Renée Watson, author of Piecing Me Together

A stirring, emotionally resonant debut, How High the Moon opens a fresh and sensitive window on a terrifying time, even as it introduces us to a lovable new heroine

—— Tony Abbott, author of Firegirl and The Great Jeff
