The fintastic diary of Darcy Dolphin

Clarice Bean meets Finding Dory in this laugh-out-loud diary set under the sea!

In the first book of the series, Darcy gets a pet, auditions for the role of Finderella in the school play, and solves a mystery on the reef. The first in a brilliantly funny new illustrated series for boys and girls aged 6+.

Perfect for fans of The Unbelievable Top Secret Diary of Pig, Pamela Butchart's Baby Aliens Got My Teacher and the Barry Loser series.
