At last something laugh-out-loud funny for girls in this hilarious new series from TV and radio comedy writing talent Nigel Smith.
The Most Embarrassing Dad in the World was embarrassing Nathalia even before she was born. He went and married Mum, didn’t he? Mum’s last name was De Montfort. Thanks to Dad she wasn’t Nathalia De Montfort. She was Nathalia Bumole.
“It’s pronounced Bew-mow–lay,” Dad would tell her patiently, time and again. “If anyone says differently, the joke’s on them.”
But as Nathalia knows only too well, the joke will not be on them. It will be on her. Massively.
If Nathalia can just keep The Most Embarrassing Dad In The World away from her new school, then maybe he won’t ruin everything this time. Maybe.
A beautiful story about imagination from bestselling author Holly
Webb.
Ben and Cassie have just moved into a new home, but it's not quite

have finished doing it up. And Dad is very busy too. There's
a lot more on his plate now Mum doesn't live with them.
But that's OK. Ben and Cassie can make their own fun. Are the builders
really pirates? Just working on the house while they wait for
the tides to change? And is there really a bear living in the
garden? Maybe they could catch him...

No wonder I bunk off . . . Still, it will have to do until my real mum comes and gets me. And until then, no-one is going to be better at the Dare Game than Tracy Beaker!
Previously published as bestselling book The Dare Game.

Norm knew it was going to be one of those days when he woke up and found himself about to pee in his mum's wardrobe...
No change there then. Well, except that last time it was his dad's wardrobe. Apart from that, though, it's the same old same old, over and over again. No one understands him. Everything's unfair. Blah, blah, flipping blah. You'd think Norm's thirteenth birthday might cheer him up, right? WRONG!
