Overview

Daisy Higgins isn't a hero-she's twelve, stuck in a gloomy seaside town and cursed with the world's most inconvenient superpower: three-day-ahead dreams of petty disasters. When a vivid nightmare shows her skidding through a neon-orange dust cloud, toppling a refreshment table and becoming ""The Squash Girl"" at the Autumn Disco, Daisy has seventy-two hours to stop the embarrassment from happening. With the help of Leo, an anxious tactical mastermind who treats every sticky situation like a national emergency, Daisy tries to rewrite fate. They banish the squash, hunt for ultra-grip footwear, infiltrate PTA supply caches, and accidentally build an even nastier trap than the one they were trying to avoid. As every attempt to prevent the disaster backfires, Daisy discovers the terrible truth: her meddling might be what makes the prophecy come true. Funny, warm, and briskly plotted, this is the story of a girl who learns that knowing the future is less about control and more about how you choose to move through it.

Author Information

Ian Johnson is an author who, much like Daisy Higgins, firmly believes that secondary school is an absolute logistical nightmare. Daisy Higgins and the Disco Disaster is his debut children's novel, born from a healthy fear of highly polished wooden floors and unpredictable school DJs. He lives in the UK, where he spends his time avoiding minor administrative headaches and serving as the ultimate tactical wingman for his daughter, Ruby. He promises he has never, under any circumstances, eaten four thousand cheese puffs off the floor like a feral raccoon.
