A laugh-out-loud illustrated story!
Hooray! Here’s another one of those direct to reader narratives, fast-paced, fizzing with fun and introducing a character readers will adore. Everyone else in Maddy Yip’s family has won trophies and her certificate for pinning the tail on the donkey just doesn’t cut it in comparison.
She’s determined to find something she’s really good at, no matter what it takes. In this she is helped by her charming and immensely patient friend Dev who supports her as she tries baking, breakdancing and even magic. The laughs come thick and fast as Maddy careers from one attempt to another, cartoon style illustrations by the author adding to the general liveliness.
Readers who love Tom Gates or Konnie Huq’s Cookie series will thoroughly enjoy Maddy’s adventures and will put the book down feeling she’s a real friend.
A madcap new story from Sue Cheung, winner of the Diverse Book Award, filled with belly-laughs and packed with drawings! Perfect for fans of Tom Gates and Sam Wu.
