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. She's the youngest in her family but is full of BOBBY DAZZLERS, which means brilliant ideas.

Daff's latest Bobby Dazzler 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. What could possibly go wrong?
