Summary from Random HouseChildren's Publishers
'The trouble with coconuts is they are the worst type of nuts in
the whole wide world. If you ask me, coconuts shouldn’t be allowed in a
funfair. If you double ask me, they shouldn’t even be allowed to grow.
Coconuts are too big. Coconuts are too hairy. Plus, if you try to win
one, they just get you into trouble. Which isn’t my fault!'
Get up to no good with Daisy as she heads to the funfair - for a whole lot more trouble!

Nayuleska's thoughts
Daisy is an energetic child,
who is enthusiastic over everything. She doesn't seem to win anything. All I kept
thinking of when Daisy played a new game was how the person in charge could
deceive people so they never won. This does bother Daisy eventually, in a way
that made me laugh a lot. Daisy has the insight to realise just how fortunate
she is, which is a sign of maturity in the young girl. It was sad when she was
tricked, but she didn't let it spoil her otherwise fantastic day out in this
10/10 read.
