Darcy Burdock: Hi So Much.

Nov 14, 2024 1:42 AM

Author:Laura Dockrill

Ten-year-old Darcy sees the extraordinary in the everyday and the wonder in the world around her. This second book sees Darcy move-up to Big School - and all of a sudden EVERYTHING changes. Her best friend Will isn't sure he should talk to girls anymore, her new teacher may in actual fact be a cauldron-bubbling witch and, horror of horrors, her precious pet Lamb-Beth goes missing. Can Darcy face these challenges head-on, armed only with her curious, whip-smart mind and eye for a story?

Joyous drawings, colourful characters and a high-energy voice - the Darcy Burdock books are packed with personality from start to finish.

Reviews

The crazily inventive, brilliantly funny return of Darcy Burdock. Jacqueline Wilson fans will approve

—— Metro

This time the Walker children are 'marooned' on an island somewhere in England, and for their adventures there is but one word - enchanting!

—— Sunday Times

Many of the adventures were set in the Lakes, but my favourite is the one set at the other end of the country: Secret Water

—— Graham Hoyland , Independent

I love this beautiful little book so much that I want to carry it around with me every day . . . Without a doubt, one of my favourite publications of 2014 and the best non-fiction book to appear in my post box. I really can't say enough good things about it!

—— Wondrous Reads

365 Days of Wonder is a wonderful book that is the perfect gift or keepsake for fans of Wonder, collectors of precepts and, actually, just everyone

—— So Many Books, So Little Time

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

—— Independent on Sunday

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown

—— The Scotsman

A celebration of all things "dad" from the quirky to the moving

—— Aberdeen Evening Express

It's humorous and charming. Dads and kids alike will love it

—— Woman’s Own
