Book Analysis
Sign in to see how this book fits your child and family preferences.
Sign in for personalised guidanceHow the book presents it: The setup places Lily’s everyday school transition alongside Daisy’s comic magic.
Talk about: What, if anything, helps Lily feel more at home at school?
The magical mishaps are presented as comic elements, including a floating fridge, transformations into slugs and Daisy’s smelly dog. The school setting also gives Lily a new social situation to navigate.
The magical incidents include people being turned into slugs and a notably smelly dog. If transformations or gross-out humour are unwelcome, these details may be worth bearing in mind.
If Lily’s new-school experience feels familiar, what seems to help her face being the new girl—and does Daisy’s magic make that easier or more complicated?
Try reading together in short stretches and pause when a magical mishap or school moment catches your interest. This leaves room to enjoy the humour or talk through Lily’s new situation.
