Riley Wright is determined to blend in when she joins Heverton Junior School in Year 4. Her goals are simple: make a new best friend, keep her sparkly school bag spotless, and, most importantly, make sure no one finds out that her dad is the new head teacher.
Unfortunately, Riley's plans are derailed on day one, when she accidentally headbutts a car — and Dad loudly announces to a crowd of kids and parents that his daughter is completely unharmed. New school, new friends (hopefully!). Riley has to figure out how to fit in, pin down a talent for the talent show, look out for her unpredictable new BFF Emmie, and face down super-mean girl Harper… As someone who gets a lot of stuff wrong, when will Riley finally get something right?
The first in a hilarious new illustrated diary series for readers aged 7+, told with warmth, sparkly pens and a secret understairs library.
