Why Mummy Drinks on Holiday

No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixth Why Mummy novel.

Mummy is on a mission to conquer the Ultimate Summer. This year, it’s all about wicker picnic hampers, vintage bicycles, the sun-kissed bliss of her almost-chateau with her ride-or-die best pal, Hannah, Precious Moppets Peter and Jane, with not an electronic babysitter in sight.

But as she strives for her picture-perfect “Summer of Happy Memories”, reality crashes the party. With two feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly and mysteriously MIA, Mummy’s dream holiday threatens to turn into a nightmare.

Can she keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige ‘freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she just bid her little darlings farewell, and leave them on an island deserted but for thieves and smugglers to fend for themselves?

Join Mummy on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape.
