Synopsis

Welcome to the hilarious WORLD of Harper Drew... there's a whole lot of DRAMA, but luckily she has tried and tested methods to deal with it! Perfect for fans of Dork Diaries.

My name is Harper Drew. I'm using my new journal to take note of all the totally ridiculous things that seem to go on around me with my family and friends. I seem to be the ONLY ONE who sees all of this stuff for what it is. Completely BEYOND normal.

Recently I've been logging Drew Dial Ratings for all the mayhem. On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely is someone to SAY or DO something that would be less sensible than (for example) ... a demented camel?

First up is the annual Drew trip to France... and while there might not be camels, there are BATS and Llamas - and my brother Troy who is so obsessed with his hairstyle, he won't even go swimming... that's a whole lot of ratings. I'm just hoping I land an invite to Maisie Felix's party when I'm back to distract me from the Drews... for one whole evening!

The start of a relatable new audiobook series, all about embracing your family, and finding unique ways to deal with life's dramas.

About Kathy Weeks

Before starting work on her children's fiction series, Kathy had quite a few jobs. She has worked on the music counter at WH Smith, been an investment banker, a waitress, a property developer, investigated missing millions for The Sultan of Brunei, founded a successful consulting business, worked for HM Treasury restructuring banks, oh....and cooked dinners at a care home for the elderly.But her love of writing was sparked when collaborating on the best-selling children's non-fiction titles You Are Awesome and Dare to be You with Matthew Syed. Kathy believes that children should all have confidence in their own potential, and not be limited by the beliefs they (or others) hold about themselves.

Goodreads review by Willemijn on July 27, 2022

Dit roze boek kan niet ontbreken in de boekenkasten van beginnende boekenwurmen. Lizzie stelt iedereen voor aan de hand van snoepjes, welk kind houdt nou niet van snoepjes? “25 juli, mijn dramatische verjaardag en de eerste dag van de zomervakantie.” Nadat iedereen is voorgesteld, begint het een beetj......more

Goodreads review by Miss on January 10, 2022

My son (aged 10) and my daughter (aged 9 - but quite an advanced reader) adored this book. Daughter laughed out loud throughout the book but also asked some pretty insightful questions after a bit of thought - some relevant issues about friendships/family came up pretty regularly but in such a subtl......more

Goodreads review by Lois on January 10, 2022

I thought that this book was brilliant. I absolutely loved it and I laughed out loud on almost every page. It is a diary format and similar to Tom Gates, Diary of a Wimpy or Dork Diaries although in many ways I think this book is better. It has an engaging narrative plot along with with some really i......more

Goodreads review by Simon on January 10, 2022

This book is absolutely hilarious! My 9 year old and I (we read it together) were laughing pretty much every other sentence. The family seems so over the top crazy, but unfortunately I have actually known people just like this! Everyone in Harper's family, except for her, is lovably eccentric. The s......more

Goodreads review by Phoebe on January 21, 2022

My daughter read this book and is obsessed. Any book that makes her look forward to finishing is a win in itself! She said it is one of the funniest things she has ever read. She loved the family dynamics and thought Harper was the only normal one. She said the parents were so hopeless (which made m......more
