'Donncha is back with another dad-sized dollop of disaster! Jam-packed with delicious doughnuts, wind-borne wellies and supermodel mutts, this chronicle of calamity is fantastic fun for all the family ... and their dog!' - Alan Nolan, author of the Molly and Bram series
Irish rugby star and media personality Donncha O'Callaghan is back with another laugh-out-loud family story, written with Blue Peter Book Club author Karen Owen and illustrated by Jenny Taylor.
When Finn, Emma, Dad and Mum participate in a family fun day to raise money for charity, their competitive nature is revealed!
When the family discover that Dad's arch-rival is also competing in the family fun day, Dad is determined to win! With a welly-throwing competition, wacky races and a talent show to prepare for, the family are on a strict NO DOUGHNUTS diet and training regime. But will their efforts be enough to win the prize?
Full of mishaps and chaos, this hilarious story is sure to delight all readers aged 7+, and is perfect for fans of Dermot O'Leary, Jeremy Strong and Pamela Butchart.
