“Daisy is steadfast and intelligent…her casual first-person narration quickly establishes a rapport with readers who should enjoy watching Daisy’s quick thinking in action in her paradise adventure.” —BookLife Reviews Eleven-year-old Daisy Tannenbaum, tomboy extraordinaire, doesn’t want to go back to school. So, when she ends up on an isolated island in the Indian Ocean after her family is accidentally kidnapped by Malay pirates, she’s totally psyched. For her, this is paradise. Her family, however, is utterly unprepared to cope with the primitive conditions on the island. Her parents are barely on speaking terms, her sister wants to crush Daisy’s skull with a rock, and a grad student Daisy’s dad may or may not have had a thing with ends up washed ashore with them. Nothing ruins paradise like having your stupid family around. But that doesn't stop Daisy from having the time of her life finding buried treasure, fighting off sharks, pirates, and scorpion attacks, and rescuing her family despite herself. Move over Swiss Family Robinson, Daisy Tannenbaum has swung into action in this first in a series of adventure stories that will be enjoyed by readers young and old. Praise for J.T. Allen & Daisy "Daisy is steadfast and intelligent...her casual first-person narration quickly establishes a rapport with readers who should enjoy watching Daisy's quick thinking in action during her paradise adventure." —BookLife Reviews "J.T. Allen has created an unforgettable character any young girl would love to call her friend. Young readers will immediately identify with Daisy as they fall in love with her courage and ingenuity. Daisy's amazing adventures will keep children reading well past their bedtimes!" --Diana Falk, Norwin Public Library Director "Daisy Tannenbaum—You are my hero! Talk about female empowerment, this almost-teen has more spunk than any superhero I know." --Michelle Moggio author of The Paris Effect "I love the main character, Daisy. She has so much...character!! All in all a great book for girls and their moms! --Miss Nathalie Paris, Mobile Librarian at Natta-Lingo and Primary Languages Teacher, UK Daisy Tannenbaum is the creation of award-winning screenwriter, J.T. Allen. Allen sold his first script while living in Paris and then moved to Los Angeles where he wrote several early drafts of "The Lion King" and "The Preacher's Wife". His television movie credits include TNT's "Geronimo" and "The Good Old Boys", FX's "Redemption" and CBS's "Death in Paradise".  The first Daisy Tannenbaum misadventure, DAISY AND THE PIRATES, started as a pitch for a Disney Channel movie. Allen loved the character, who was inspired by his two daughters, and wrote his first novel instead. DAISY IN EXILE, the second in the series, started as Daisy's blog, "My Stupid Journal".  The third book, DAISY AND THE MISSING MONA LISA, is now available. In the meantime, this very instant, Daisy is getting into more mischief while happily avoiding her math homework. She'll no doubt tell Mr. Allen all about it for another book in the Daisy Tannenbaum Misadventure series. To find out more about Mr. Allen and Miss Daisy Tannenbaum please visit DaisyTannenbaum.com.
