Summary from Usborne
My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE. But this time I really wasn't trying to be DREADFUL... No. I was just trying to DO MY BEST, so it is completely not my fault that right now I am sort of blueish all over and so is my sister Daisy's swan outfit. And I was also really TRYING TO HELP Joshua Bottomley fall in love with Daisy by doing a science experiment on him, but I did not know that he would just go a bit pale and green and it would all turn into one BIG kerfuffle!

Nayuleska's thoughts
I'm pretty accident prone, but I take my hat off to Penny for what happens to her. It's hard because she tries so hard to help and it mostly backfires. I loved her new classmate, although it got a bit gross which is why I'm giving it 9/10.
