Life According To Dani cover

"This series fills a gap of good reading for five- to seven-year-olds. It gives them a proper grown-up reading experience that is accessible but also has emotional weight." Julia Marshall, Publisher

It's Dani's first summer vacation-and the best ever! She is staying on an island with Ella, her best friend in the world. Dad is still in hospital but he calls every day, and Ella and Dani stay busy building huts, fishing, exploring, and swimming. Then Dad turns up, but with his nurse too! This is not the visit anyone had imagined.A stand-alone follow-up to the acclaimed and beloved chapter books that began with New York Times Notable Book My Happy Life It's Dani's first summer vacation-and the best ever! She is staying on an island with Ella, her best friend in the world. Dad is still in hospital but he calls every day, and Ella and Dani stay busy building huts, fishing, exploring, and swimming. Then Dad turns up, but with his nurse too! This is not the visit anyone had imagined. This warm, funny story allows space for strong emotions, as Dani struggles with the idea of her father's new girlfriend, but does so with a light touch.

"Lagercrantz's superb writing in Marshall's translation is touching and amusing without being saccharine. . . . Eriksson's black-and-white illustrations add important emotional resonance. . . . Another sterling early chapter book by this duo."—starred, Kirkus Reviews
