Average rating
Ten-year-old Darcy Burdock is one of life’s noticers. Curious, smart, funny and fiercely loyal, she sees the extraordinary in the everyday and the wonder in the world around her.
In this first book, we are introduced to her family: Mum, who Darcy loves as much as her favourite fried egg and chips, Dad, who is kind and fair if a bit hopeless, and little siblings Hector and Poppy, who Darcy likes dressing up in ridiculous outfits and having dance-offs with, respectively. Plus there’s her pet lamb, Lamb-Beth and best friend, Will, to have adventures with.
Darcy learns that turning into an angrosaurus-rex and causing chaos just gets you in trouble, it’s best not to throw a massive strop just before your surprise birthday party, Halloween is all about spider costumes and having a pumpkin with a wonky eye, and if you’re ever in a situation where you’re not sure what to do, you should write a story around it, and the truth will be illuminated by your imagination.
Reviews
This is a fiction book about a girl called Darcy Burdock who is in Year 6. I really enjoyed it be sure I am about to go into Year 6 too. My favourite character is called Will and he is Darcy's best friend. I would definitely recommend it to most children, boys and girls. My big sister recommended it to me!

I liked it because it was funny and entertaining. But it didn't have that much adventure which is what I like.

It is funny, has drama and that girl has a personality that you notice when you start reading. I liked Darcy the best and it appealed to me because the back of the book it sounded funny and it was. I would recommend it to 7+.

I enjoyed darcy burdock because it was like a diary and I like that type of fictional story. I also liked it because darcy is a bit like me because I love writing stories. My favourite character was darcy’s little sister because she enjoys dancing like me.

Darcy Burdock is a great feel-good read. I could easily relate her life to mine and i loved her stories. I always feel better after reading Darcy if I am sad or upset. I loved this book (and its sequel) because it was filled with wit and emotional intelligence and would recommend this book highly.

This book was fun and fascinating and Laura Dockrill is an amazing writer. Darcy Burdock is a cheeky, fun and feisty character and it was an awesome book from cover to cover.
