Book Review

My favourite part in this book was when Daisy's name was spelled incorrectly into the programmes because Daisy was so dramatic about it

This book follows the story of Daisy Brewster as she tries ignoring her really annoying superstar cousin Maxxi Bloom and become a famous actor. When I read this book, it was a little different from what I imagined but I think it will be perfect 8-year-old girls who love a bit of drama.

My favourite part in this book was when Daisy’s name was spelled incorrectly into the programmes because Daisy was so dramatic about it. I love how stroppy and how over reacting Maxxi is because she reminds me of my little brother who moans if anyone touches him accidentally!

About the Book

Daisy is back at school, but her super-celebrity cousin Maxxy is STILL sharing her room while filming for a new TV show. And it’s all anyone can talk about! Daisy’s mum is always at the film set with Maxxy, her dad is always busy with work, and her brother Leo is being a teenage tyrant. The only thing keeping Daisy calm are her drama club rehearsals. With only a few weeks to go before the big opening night, Daisy is pouring everything into her performance.

But with Maxxy being a total DIVA, sudden strange feelings towards her floppy-haired co-star Olivier, a HUGE SPOT appearing on her chin, and gossiping girls desperate for Maxxy’s attention, Daisy will have to channel her inner method actor to keep the show on the road.
