Daizy Star and the Pink Guitar

Hi …

I’m Daizy Star, and I have a bit of a problem. OK, make that a BIG problem.

It’s my dad … he’s having a mid-life crisis and it’s seriously, seriously annoying. He keeps getting these crazy ideas about saving the world and, trust me, they are the worst ideas in the history of the universe. Bad times, huh?

At least I have my cool new pink guitar and my dreams of rock superstardom to cling to in the middle of this nightmare.

Who knows, music, friends and hot chocolate with melted marshmallows might just get me through …

Love, hugs and custard doughnuts,
