Nina Peanut: Epic World Tour Era

Nina Peanut: Epic World Tour Era

By Sarah Bowie

Nina is the new best friend for all kids, everywhere. Nina Peanut is in her world tour era – ok, so she’s actually just going on an all-inclusive family holiday to a Spanish seaside resort, but STILL. And who’s that she’s just spotted on the next sun lounger over? Only enemy Megan Dunne, who had told everyone at school she was off to the Maldives to work on her tan…

Hilariously funny, with relatable themes of friendship/frenemies, big dreams and brilliant pets.
