Yosser just can't stop worrying: her parent's shop is struggling, so they have invited her Auntie Shabnam over to help out, meaning Yosser will have to share her bedroom with her grandmother - and her collection of creepy stuffed animals!

 

Yosser’s best friend, Kylie, is having family trouble of her own: she’s worried that her rebellious older brother Sniper and his mates are going to ruin her mum’s 40th birthday party. 

 

Add in a menagerie of animals including, a cat called Killer Queen, two hamsters and a fish called Smartypants and you have all the ingredients for this delightful story of friendship, families and childhood worries.

 

This chapter book is perfect for newly confident readers, it’s very funny and contains enough mystery to keep readers interested until the satisfying resolution.
