Happy Camper!

The Susie K Files #4

by Shamini Flint, Sally Heinrich (Illustrator)

Susie K is a gung-ho camper (not!) - but her mum is convinced that Susie can make it in the rugged outdoors ...

Susie K likes science instead of netball and has the class goldfish for a best friend. But Susie's mum finds it hard to believe that she's happy that way. She's constantly trying to push Susie (with the best of intentions, of course!) to be something she's not. And the last thing Susie wants is to disappoint her mum...

Susie's mum is overjoyed about the upcoming camping trip... only Susie doesn't know the first thing about outdoor survival. So even though Susie would much rather be at home ordering pizza, she uses all her problem-solving skills to become a happy camper!

In this fresh new series find out how Susie's unconventional problem-solving skills + Mum's optimistically high expectations = hilarious results.
