Book Review

This book is great, the way it has the pictures as you go along breaks up the words to make it easier to read

This book is great, the way it has the pictures as you go along breaks up the words to make it easier to read. The story is about Margrette going to Daisy’s house for a couple of weeks, they are really different and that upsets daisy as she wants to be like her.

When Margrette and her dad go to stay the uncle has to sleep on the sofa and Margrette takes over Daisy’s room as she has more money then her, I don’t think that is fair and Margrette should respect Daisy’s space as money isn’t important and family is and they are cousins.

When Margrette helped Daisy get the part in the play by telling her how to remember her lines and what to do with her tummy to sing note perfect was when I think Daisy realised that even though they are different they can like each other.

This is the first book and I hope there is more to come so I can read about more of the drama coming Daisy’s way

About the Book

Daisy Brewster is a girl with resolutions. She is determined to be her best self and get a good part in the school play. Everyone knows Daisy is a talented actor. But not everyone knows about her super celebrity cousin, who is already breaking hearts and winning contracts on the world stage.

Maxxy Bloom is a child star in Hollywood, with A-List friends, a million followers and a glamorous, lavish lifestyle… but things are about to change in all sorts of ways when she comes to stay at Daisy’s house. Daisy fears the worst, for her routine, her personal space, her popularity, and her own dramatic ambitions. But the real Maxxy Bloom turns out to be a big surprise, and Daisy’s very unfamous life has an unexpected effect on her guest!

This is a diary-format story with illustrations by Hannah McCaffery
