This is a light-hearted but perceptive story about the conflict between a mother's love of her work and of her son

Smith's chatty accessible style allows her to tackle quite serious issues in an entertaining way

A warm, witty and inspiring tale . . . This is a fine and funny pre-teens book with some lovely zany illustrations by David Tazzyman

A deliciously funny tales of a kid with a super sweet tooth. Perfect for boys and girls, with laughs and fun galore

Dermot's diaries are very revealing as he tells all in hilarious and embarrassing detail

A great read . . . Funny and full of ideas

This book is brilliant for all those who want to laugh out loud . . . This diary has it all including brilliant illustrations

I give this 10/10 (I might not have entirely enjoyed the boy humour but it was well written, suited the style of the book which addresses serious issues with a smile)

Dermot's voice is blunt and hilarious, exactly what you'd expect from a boy of his age . . . The Donut Diaries is the perfect book for readers aged 9+, especially those who will soon be starting big school themselves

A hilarious diary which will have the reader chuckling as events unfold - and empathising with Dermot as he shares anguishes common to many near-teenage boys

This is the funniest book I have ever read, I can't wait until the next book in the series. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little laugh

Funny and sweet in equal measure and I thoroughly enjoyed it

A new twist to the diary genre

Like a donut, this book is somehow sweet and disgusting at the same time. Oh, and it's very funny too!

It's very much that wet sloppy fart kind of humour. Your kids will absolutely love this book. It's a great "next step up" the reading ladder
