This month, DFB is all about family. Siblings, cousins, parents …and pets! We’ve welcomed Charlie Small’s cousin, Alfie, to our shelves


..hurtled after MY LITTLE SISTER on her extravagant adventures

and cheered on the struggle between good and evil, Muddlespot and Windleberry, Sally Jones and her twin sister, Billie:

So, we’re asking our Storybloggers to tell us about one of their family members. What is their most angelic trait, the nicest thing they’ve done for you? What is their worst habit – the one which drives you round the twist – and how about The Incident – the one which made you pull your hair out and fume furiously?
Everyone has a Lifetime Deed Counter (LDC). It works like this:
You offer to help with the housework: Lifetime Good Deeds +1
You steal your little brother’s sweets: Lifetime Bad Deeds +1*
We want to see a point ping up for both good and bad on their LDCs. ..and, after following the loyal pup in MY LITTLE SISTER, Sally Jones’ cat Shades and Alfie Small’s dog Jed – we’re keen to hear about pets too! Their cherubin deeds and impish ways..
Why not take a peek at the opening pages of these new books, whilst we wait for our Storybloggers to bare the truth and dish the dirt..
