Happy Camper! The Susie K Diaries by Shamini Flint is the story of Susie K, a girl who prefers science to netball and counts the class goldfish as her best friend. However, Susie's mum struggles to believe that Susie is truly happy this way and often tries, with the best of intentions, to push her daughter to be someone she's not. Susie, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to avoid disappointing her mum.

The excitement mounts when Susie's mum becomes overjoyed about an upcoming camping trip. The challenge? Susie knows nothing about outdoor survival. Despite her preference for staying at home and ordering pizza, Susie harnesses all of her problem-solving skills to transform into a happy camper.

In this fresh new series, discover how Susie's unconventional problem-solving skills combined with her mum's optimistically high expectations lead to hilarious results.

About the Author

Shamini Flint lives in Singapore with her husband and two children. She began her career in law in Malaysia and also worked at an international law firm in Singapore. She travelled extensively around Asia for her work, before resigning to be a stay-at-home mum, writer, part-time lecturer and environmental activist, all in an effort to make up for her 'evil' past as a corporate lawyer! Shamini has written many books for adults and children, including the popular Diary of a Soccer Star series.

Sally Heinrich is an illustrator, printmaker and writer, who has published and exhibited widely in Australia and Asia. She has illustrated more than forty books, including Diary of a Soccer Star series. Her picture book One Step at a Time was an Honour Book in the CBCA Picture Book of the Year Awards, and her most recent Papa Sky, is a Notable Book. Her commissioned artwork ranges from wine labels to a mural for the Singapore Zoo and community arts projects. Sally has lived in Singapore, Sydney and Darwin and is now living in Adelaide. When she's not at her desk drawing, she is often out in the bush, walking and camping and occasionally getting lost.
