The Life of Riley

Why is life never like it is in books? Nothing interesting ever happens to me. I am not adopted, my parents are not alcoholics or drug addicts, and I don't live on a council estate. Even my name sucks. In other words, my life is earth-shatteringly normal. This cannot go on. Something deep and life-changing has to happen...and sometime about now would be good.  Join Rachel as she sets out to make her life more interesting, befriend exotic people, and win the heart of Justin Statham ...all while channelling her own unique vintage Essex chic.  Will she succeed in her quest for more tragedy in her life ...or will it just be tragic.  Not suitable for younger readers.

Penny Dreadful is a magnet for disaster. Starring in three more brilliant stories, Penny creates mishap, mayhem and misadventure wherever she goes. "Penny Dreadful Does Her Best" - After Bridget Grimes shows off her collection of Brownie badges in assembly, Penny and Cosmo decide that they are also going to do their best and try to help. But when their attempt to help out with the washing ends in bubbles, bedlam, and lots of pink clothes, they discover that it might be best not to be helpful all of the time…Penny Dreadful and the Hormones - Penny's big sister Daisy is in love with Joshua Bottomley, and it's all because of her hormones. So Penny and Cosmo decide to invent their own hormones using Cosmo's chemistry set, lots of things from the kitchen cupboards and an extra-special secret ingredient - with disastrous results. "Penny Dreadful and the New Girl" - When Penny's headmaster tells her class that a new girl with a famous dad is joining the school, Penny is determined to be her best friend. But one collaborative art project, a dead pigeon, and a visit from the fire brigade later, things haven't quite gone to plan…Get ready for a taste of destruction with Penny's third side-splitting trio of tales of trouble. Penny Dreadful would have even Minnie the Minx running for cover. Nothing is safe when she's around.

Penny Dreadful Causes a Kerfuffle

EDC Publishing/Usborne Books

My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' part is my dad's JOKE. But I do not see the funny side. Plus it is not even true that I am dreadful. It's just that sometimes my BRILLIANT IDEAS don't work out completely brilliantly. Like, I didn't mean for my cousin to end up bald and covered in super glue, and I also didn't mean to steal our neighbor's dog and make him speak Russian… It is not my fault. I can't help it - I'm just a Magnet for Disaster.

My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE. But I do not mean to be dreadful… sawing Bridget Grimes in half for the school show was supposed to be a GOOD THING. And I didn't mean to get up to any SHENANIGANS on the school trip. Plus I worked extra-especially hard on the CAKE OF DREAMS for Mum's birthday… but somehow it still turned into a HUGE calamity.

Penny Dreadful Cooks up Calamity

My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE. But I am definitely not dreadful… it's just sometimes people don't appreciate the brilliance of my ideas! I mean, it was a BRILLIANT IDEA to hunt a VAMPIRE and Cosmo said Mr. Bentley-Bucket was only pretending to be human. Also Grandma Overall who does not see the BRIGHT SIDE needed cheering up, so I don't know why she didn't like her super-sparkly MAKEOVER. And the water spraying all over the kitchen was completely worth it because I ended up being a Record Breaker!
