Meet Penny James Lowry as she starts Year 5. This year was supposed to be the best ever, so why has her best friend Violet started hanging out with Riley Miller the Queen Bee of the grade? And what’s her mum hiding? Follow Penny in this hilarious book as she makes new friends and desperately scrambles to survive Year 5.
Penny is a great character because she’s so honest about what she’s feeling that the story immediately makes you comfortable and happy.
This book openly expresses growing up and the ups and downs that come with it. You will fall in love with a unique voice.
I would 100 per cent recommend this book to anyone who loves Ella Diaries, Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Emmie & Friends.
This book is amazing – I give it five stars!
