MISSING DIARY
PLEASE RETURN TO IZZY DOBSON IF FOUND!!
REWARD: JAR OF MANGO CHUTNEY

Izzy Dobson has a few problems…
  1. Her diary is missing.
  2. School is the WORST.
  3. Her cat has left another dead bird on her pillow.

But thankfully she has her wonderful Mum and Nan, her cat Horace, her favourite teacher Miss Finlay, and a new, trusty notebook (which is definitely NOT a diary!) to help solve the case. Now, if only she could figure out what people mean when they say random things, find a quiet place to eat lunch in peace, and maybe even make some friends?

Izzy Dobson navigates the perils of growing up in this illustrated debut novel filled with hilarious anecdotes, touching heartfelt moments and just a dash of mango chutney.
