My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE.
But this time I really wasn't trying to be DREADFUL... No. I was just trying to DO MY BEST, so it is completely not my fault that right now I am sort of blueish all over and so is my sister Daisy's swan outfit. And I was also really TRYING TO HELP Joshua Bottomley fall in love with Daisy by doing a science experiment on him, but I did not know that he would just go a bit pale and green and it would all turn into one BIG kerfuffle!
Get ready for a taste of destruction with Penny's third side-splitting trio of troublesome tales! The first book in the Penny Dreadful series, Penny Dreadful is a Magnet for Disaster, was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
ANY child who likes a bit of mayhem will enjoy PENNY DREADFUL CAUSES A KERFUFFLE by Joanna Nadin. Penny means well but things never work out quite the way she plans especially when there’s a chemistry set involved. A perfect choice for fans of Horrid Henry and Jeremy Strong. * The Sunday Express *
The wonderful and utterly incorrigible Penny Dreadful returns in three new stories. * The Bookseller *
Perfect for children learning to read by themselves. * Carousel *
Three hilarious Penny Dreadful stories and a list of Penny's Top Tips for Survival provide lots of laughter for sharing or reading alone. * Booktrust *
This compilation of three stories is great entertainment, well written and brilliantly illustrated... Likenesses have been made between Penny Dreadful and Horrid Henry and after reading this book I look forward to seeing the TV adaptation very soon! * School Librarian Journal *
