Maddy's Guide to Life: Essential Short Stories 5 Pack (Stories 1-5)

Hi, I’m Madison. Well that’s what my mom and my teacher, Mr. Wrong (his real name is Mr. Wright), call me, but I prefer to be called Maddy. I’m 9 years old and I live in a small town in the United States with my annoying older sister Zoey, my dog Rupert, and my parents. I go to school nearby. Over the years I have learnt a lot about life and how to handle things at home and at school. In these short stories I will tell you what I have learnt so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

In this collection of 5 funny short stories (also available individually) you get:


Maddy’s Guide to Life: Family Parties

Zoey was having a boring family birthday party and all I wanted was to admire the food before the guests turned up. Well, things went a little bit wrong (okay, okay – a big bit wrong). All I can say was that Rupert was a big help in cleaning things up.


Maddy’s Guide to Life: Facebook Expert

I really needed a new iPad for Christmas but it was so hard trying to get mom to understand this and then things got worse when Zoey found out that I had been into her Facebook account. I’m not sure why, but Zoey didn’t appreciate the changes I made to her account.


Maddy’s Guide to Life: School Camp

I decided that school camp would be the perfect opportunity for me to take over from Amanda, Pamela and Nancy to become the coolest girl in class. Marshmallows, Dora the Explorer, and a frog meant that things didn’t go according to plan, but it turned out that at least one kid thinks I’m great and that’s cool.


Maddy’s Guide to Life: Bring a Pet to School Day

For Bring a Pet Day I brought my dog Rupert to school. I forgot to ask mom first. Other kids brought pink dyed Chihuahuas, a pet rat, a frog and a psycho cat. Things were going well for a few minutes but then it all went badly wrong. You won’t believe what happened to the teacher and the principal! Anyway, it all got sorted out in the end.


Maddy’s Guide to Life: School Lunches

Not only was school really boring that day, but then when we had to line up to get lunch in the school cafeteria the food looked really disgusting. It was so gloopy and it looked like something Rupert made. A small frog soon put an end to the lunch food and the day ended up being the best day ever.
