I recommend the book Daisy and the Trouble with Coconuts by Kes Gray.

In the story, Daisy and her grandparents visit a funfair and decide to play a game called Coconut Shy.

They throw a ball at the coconuts, but none fall down. They eventually discover that the coconuts have been glued in place. When they protest, the owner of the game removes the glue.

My favourite character is Daisy because she is funny and energetic. She also stands up for what is right whenever she sees something unfair.

Because of her, I learned the importance of being brave.
