An irresistible re-telling of a best-loved classic from Jacqueline Wilson, superstar author of Hetty Feather. Katy Carr is a lively, daredevil oldest sister in a big family.

Inspired by the classic novel, What Katy Did, Jacqueline Wilson creates an irresistible modern version for the twenty-first-century. Fans of Hetty Feather and Tracy Beaker will fall in love with Katy and her family too.
