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. It's a quick, satisfying read that's ideal for encouraging reluctant or emerging readers to finish a whole book in one sitting, building confidence and a love of stories along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFun, fast-paced World Book Day special edition perfect for emerging readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by bestselling children's author Kes Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters ideal for building reading confidence and stamina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaugh-out-loud humour that appeals to both girls and boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lovely, affordable gift or classroom reward book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the hugely popular Daisy series loved by schools and families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKes Gray is one of the UK's bestselling children's authors, with over two million copies of his books sold.
