PENNY DREADFUL IS A MAGNET FOR DISASTER
A combination of Horrid Henry and Just William in a skirt, this is wicked fun for the younger reader.
Penelope Jones (aka Penny Dreadful) is a perfectly normal nine year old, with the best of intentions. Except that everything she touches ends in chaos and disaster, usually embroiling Penny, her best friend Cosmo and her little cousin Georgie in complete mayhem. An advance review in The Bookseller said: 'There have been plenty of attempts at a Horrid Henry for girls but Penny Dreadful might just live up to the comparison .side-splittingly funny'. The disasters continue in Penny Dreadful is a Complete Catastrophe, with two further Penny Dreadful novels commissioned.
