May 2014 Debut of the Month Nathalia Buttface and the Most Embarrassing Dad in the World is a genuinely laugh-out-loud story for 9+ readers, with tons of heart, and with a theme that every child can relate. After all we all have embarrasasing fathers but only 11 year old Nathalia has been prepared to tell everyone about hers. Rest assured readers will gasp and cringe at what is surely one of the most embarrassing dads in the world?
A Piece of Passion from Nick Lake, Publishing Director, HarperCollins Children's Books “It’s extremely rare that a book makes me laugh out loud. Nathalia Buttface made me laugh until strangers looked at me funnily on a crowded tube. Anarchic, silly, and clever, it’s packed with every kind of comedy – but it’s also truly moving.
Really funny books don’t come along every day or even every year, so I can’t wait for everyone to get to know the eternally embarrassed Nathalia Buttface...”

Read the full description
Thanks to Dad she wasn't Nathalia De Montfort. She was Nathalia Bumole."It's pronounced Bew-mow-lay," Dad would tell her patiently, time and again. "If anyone says differently, the joke's on them."But as Nathalia knows only too well, the joke will not be on them.
It will be on her. Massively.If Nathalia can just keep The Most Embarrassing Dad In The World away from her new school, then maybe he won't ruin everything this time. Maybe.
Nigel Smith has been a journalist, busker, TV comedy producer and script writer, winning an award for his BBC 4 radio comedy, VENT, based on his own life-threatening brain illness. More importantly, he has been - and still is - an embarrassing Dad. Much like Natalia Buttface, his three children are continually mortified by his ill-advised trousers, comedic hats, low quality jokes, poorly chosen motor vehicles, unique sense of direction and unfortunate ukulele playing. Unlike his hero Ivor Bumole, he doesn't write Christmas cracker jokes for a living. Yet.
