Daniela Hoffman Is Not Stupid

By angela j. phillip

Daniela is clever and has taught herself to be tough, but she can't cope at school and things go from bad to worse until she fears she will be thrown out. Her mother loves her but needs her own space and freedoms. She has no idea about her daughter's problems. Dani has nowhere to turn except to her best friend, Mandy, and to Jaffa, a boy from a Jamaican family who opens up her world in ways she didn't expect. Meanwhile, her respectable mother is going off the rails while the family falls apart.- A gripping family drama and coming of age story.'This is a really, really lovely book; Dani is a flawed but fascinating heroine and her book is a heart-warming addition to the ranks of the female coming of age story.' Francis Booth, novelist and author of 'Girls in Bloom: Coming of Age in the Mid-Twentieth Century Woman's Novel.' 'At times raw and emotional; at others light and quirky (without ever being twee or fey), this novel is an utterly compelling and ultimately delightful read.' Michael Kerrigan, freelance writer, editor and reviewer
