Maddy Yip's Guide to Life cover

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. Maddy Yip is perfectly happy in life, until she realises that everyone she knows has a talent – except for her! Maddy is determined to change that, with the help of her brothers, bewildered grandad and her best friend Dev. There are disastrous attempts at breakdancing and playing the recorder, revolting cakes, and a magic disappearing trick that ends up with an escaped guinea pig. Will Maddy ever find her true calling?

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" -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
