From much loved author Chris Higgins and acclaimed illustrator Emily MacKenzie comes a charming new young fiction series about friendship.

Bella has just moved into a new house. It’s old and dark and she’s sure there’s a ghost in the attic! But things look up when she meets her new next-door neighbour Magda. Magda is lots of fun! She’s bubbly and full of imagination and can even turn cartwheels! Soon they are best friends.

But Magda is also trouble! She breaks Bella’s mum’s best tea set, wrecks Bella’s room and covers the whole living room in soot. And somehow makes sure Bella gets the blame for everything.

Bella is going to have watch out because there’s Trouble Next Door!

I like the person who was called Bella and magma.I think it was interested because I never heard a story about trouble next door.

I really enjoyed reading this book. My favorite person was Magda because she is funny and brave. The part I liked was when Bella, Magda & Sid was in the attic as it was hilarious and there were fake ghosts. I would recommend it to someone else because it is funny and interesting.

Trouble Next Door is a really good book and again I would recommend to anyone who has a sense of humour even people who don't! It's the 1st book in the 'Trouble' series and is really funny. I think the most funniest part is when the author described how the field opposed their houses stunk of cow poo! At first Bella is not happy with her house but when Magda who lives next door gets the two into mischief Bella's mum assumes all of the trouble is Bella's fought! But is it really?

It was really good during the story I actually thought that there was a ghost in the attic but it was just a lost seagull that when it was in the attic with Bella and Magda it looked like a ghost The best part was when Bella fell through the floor and landed on the bed in there parents bedroom I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventurous and funny books

This is a good and funny book, and I would recommend it. The main character is Bella, which is the one I liked the most, and Magda blames things on her.

The book was good because Magda made a bit of trouble and blamed Bella but in the end she confessed.

I really enjoy reading this, as it makes me want to read the next book in the series called Trouble at school by Chris Higgins. The main characters are Bella and Sid and their parents, Magada who I find interesting.

this book was nice but i still do not like Magda and her maddness , i love Bella though because she is so neat and organised , and it is not fair that she had to take the blame when Magda put loads of biscuits on the plate when magda's gran came over , but in the end i belive that even though Magda is verrrrrry naughty she will have the crazy and loving heart to be brave and do whatever her heart desires .
