About the Book
Daisy can't believe it! Mrs Peters is making her sit next to Jack Beechwhistle - the naughtiest boy in the whole school, possibly the whole world. Jack is equally furious, forced to sit beside Daisy Butters, the biggest blabbermouth he's ever met. What follows is a hilarious school-day showdown as Daisy and Jack try to outdo one another with increasingly inventive tricks, each determined to prove they can't stand the other. But as the day wears on, and their rivalry escalates into ever more ridiculous territory, both children notice something unexpected: they might have more in common than they ever imagined. Written and published especially for World Book Day 2016, this pocket-sized paperback captures all the warmth, wit and playground realism that fans of Kes Gray's Daisy books know and love.
