Welcome to the totally hilarious and utterly daft life of Harper Drew and her VERY eccentric family – from her totally hair-obsessed would-be internet celebrity brother, Troy, to her Uncle Paul, who swears he’s making a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio (well, he’s got a red carpet at least). Payments made using National Book Tokens are processed by National Book Tokens Ltd, and you can read their Terms and Conditions here. The story is written by 11 year old Harper Drew and her everyday life in her family (with all the disasters! Suit Y3 onwards depending on ability, although suggested age is 9-11 probably because that's Harper's age. I also overheard both children talking about one of the characters in a way which demonstrated beautifully that humour really is a great way to teach children how to navigate the tricky issues that come up in the world of school politics.With this in mind she has worked with both primary and secondary schools on confidence and resilience building programmes for young people. Firstly, this wouldn't be my normal choice of book, I usually prefer a standard MG novel but I'm stuck at home and this was delivered so I gave it a go!

The first in Kathy Weeks's illustrated humorous trilogy for readers aged 9+ has a lot of fun with Harper's despair at the eccentricity of her family, although the journal format has been done to death in this age bracket. It is a diary format and similar to Tom Gates, Diary of a Wimpy or Dork Diaries although in many ways I think this book is better.

I'm using my new journal to take note of all the totally ridiculous things that seem to go on around me with my family and friends. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. For fans of Dork Diaries comes a laugh-out-loud series about one girl's eccentric family, a whole lot of mayhem, and her unique way of dealing with it.All while also trying to fundraise for a wheelchair lift for school so that Edward can access the science rooms properly. The start of a relatable new illustrated series, all about embracing your family, and finding unique ways to deal with life's dramas. On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely is someone to SAY or DO something that would be less sensible than (for example) … a demented camel? and while there might not be camels, there are BATS and Llamas - and my brother Troy who is so obsessed with his hairstyle, he won't even go swimming. Harper introduces herself, her family and friends at the beginning as a sweet from a pic'n'mix selection.
