Danny's back! And he's in trouble with Granny - again!

This time he has to keep Granny's secret until Mum's birthday, but Danny isn't very good at being good.

When he's told that he can't let Keeno into his room, he decides to find another hiding place for the Big Surprise! Will this work?

Can he keep the secret without getting into trouble? What do you think?

Brianóg Brady Dawson is a primary school teacher from County Sligo. She now lives in Dublin with her husband and two children.

Her first book, Granny's Teeth, became a No.1 Bestseller, and was now followed by seven more stories about the mischievous Danny who always ends up in trouble, even when he's trying to be good! 

Michael Connor is a school teacher who lives in Limerick.

Alan Nolan lives and works in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. He has written and illustrated many books and comics for children and grown-ups, including Fintan’s Fifteen, Conor's Caveman and the Murder Can Be Fatal series.

I strongly believe that even the most basic reading books need to have a strong story with great characters and action. Danny Brown and the Big Surprise by Brianóg Brady Dawson ticks all the boxes!
