About The Book

A new series of middle grade diaries in the vein of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries, with a celebrity/influencer hook

Daisy Brewster is a girl with New Year’s resolutions. She is determined to be her best self, get on well with her big brother and get a good part in the school play. Everyone knows Daisy is a talented actor. But not everyone knows about her super celebrity cousin, who is already breaking hearts and winning contracts on the world stage.

Maxxy Bloom is a child star in Hollywood, with A-List friends, a million followers and a glamorous, lavish lifestyle. Things are about to change in all sorts of ways when she comes to stay at Daisy’s house.

Daisy fears the worst, for her routine, her personal space, her popularity, and her own dramatic ambitions. But the real Maxxy Bloom turns out to be a big surprise, and Daisy’s very unfamous life has an unexpected effect on her guest.

Told through Daisy’s private diary, this is a story about family, ambition, and how nice it is NOT to be famous…
