Official synopsis Publisher
Jamie wanted to go on holiday to exotic places like some of his friends did. His mother was fed up with his continual moaning. She said they could not afford expensive holidays. She suggested they went on a picnic instead.
While Jamie was looking at his favourite magazine about sums, a letter came to say he had won a holiday. A girl, Daisy, had also won.
Jamie was very excited. He felt happy when he went on the picnic but he wondered whether he had really received a letter and whether he was really going on holiday.
This is a story about Jamie and Daisy’s holiday in an unusual place where nearly everything was round. They certainly had a different holiday from all their friends and had some strange adventures.
