The focus is her Agung’s (Grandad’s) 80th birthday. Maddy is determined to make sure his party is unforgettable and as ever best friend Dev is there to help ensure it’s full of drama.

As ever, it’s all very funny, the comic-style illustrations providing as many laughs as the text, but still manages to offer a warm, honest depiction of family life. More Maddy please!
