Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths by Maisie Chan

'DANNY CHUNG DOES NOT DO MATHS is both heartwarming and hilarious, filled with characters you'll instantly love' Jamie Smart, author and illustrator of BUNNY VS MONKEY 'Funny, heartwarming and packed with fascinating snippets of Chinese culture.

Nai Nai can't speak a word of English, which doesn't make things easy for Danny when he is charged with looking after her during his school holidays. Babysitting Nai Nai is NOT what he wants to be doing! Before long though it becomes clear to Danny that there is more to Nai Nai than meets the eye, and that they have more in common that he thought possible ...
