The Unfamous Diaries of Daisy Brewster: The Drama Queens

by Jenny Valentine

The sparkling new series of middle grade diaries continues in The Drama Queens! Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries, with a celebrity hook.

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 is 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.

Drama, BBFs, secrets and theatrics await!
