Penny Dreadful is a Magnet for Disaster Award-winning author by Joanna Nadin (author) (UK edition)

Penny’s name isn’t actually Penny Dreadful. The ‘Dreadful’ bit is her dad’s idea of a JOKE. But she absolutely doesn’t see the funny side! After all, it’s not her fault that sometimes her BRILLIANT ideas don’t work out completely brilliantly. Like, she didn’t mean for her cousin to end up bald and covered in superglue. She also didn’t mean to steal their neighbour’s dog and make him speak Russian! Penelope just can’t help it – she’s a magnet for disaster! A hilarious caper for younger readers from acclaimed comic writer Joanna Nadin.
