Danny Best: Me First!

Jen Storer has written many books for kids but most of them have been about serious topics such as rainforests and bones and the history of ice-cream (extremely serious). She has written three books for Penguin: Sing, Pepi, Sing, I Hate Sport (which is an Aussie Chomp and was written under her old nickname, Prue Storer).
