Description

Susie K likes science instead of netball and has the class goldfish for a best friend. But Susie's mum finds it hard to believe that she's happy that way. She's constantly trying to push Susie (with the best of intentions, of course!) to be something she's not. And the last thing Susie wants is to disappoint her mum...

Susie's mum is thrilled to hear that Susie is going to Clementine's party ... except she hasn't been invited yet. So even though Susie would much rather stay home to read about endangered animals, she uses all her problem-solving skills to become the life of the party!

In this fresh new series find out how Susie's unconventional problem-solving skills + Mum's optimistically high expectations = hilarious results.
