Description
My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The Dreadful bit is my dad's JOKE.
Actually, I am not even dreadful at all. I didn't mean for Marlon, who is our school goat, to eat a mobile phone or do some poo that looks like chocolate drops. I only set him free because I was being a FRIEND TO ANIMALS. Also, I didn't ask to be a bridesmaid at Aunt Deedee's wedding; I just wanted to build my AMAZING TOWER OF CHAIRS. It wasn't really my fault the cake fell on Dad's head and everything turned into such a horrible hoo-hah.
Three fantastically funny Penny Dreadful adventures in one fab book! Penny Dreadful is a Magnet for Disaster, was shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

Reviews
The characters are very well drawn and the language just right to draw in young readers... The illustrations are just as funny as the stories and capture the expressions of the characters wonderfully well. * Parents in Touch *
