ANY child who likes a bit of mayhem will enjoy PENNY DREADFUL CAUSES A KERFUFFLE by Joanna Nadin. Penny means well but things never work out quite the way she plans especially when there's a chemistry set involved. A perfect choice for fans of Horrid Henry and Jeremy Strong. * The Sunday Express * The wonderful and utterly incorrigible Penny Dreadful returns in three new stories. * The Bookseller * Perfect for children learning to read by themselves. * Carousel * Three hilarious Penny Dreadful stories and a list of Penny's Top Tips for Survival provide lots of laughter for sharing or reading alone. * Booktrust * This compilation of three stories is great entertainment, well written and brilliantly illustrated... Likenesses have been made between Penny Dreadful and Horrid Henry and after reading this book I look forward to seeing the TV adaptation very soon! * School Librarian Journal *
