About this series
Tammy's a teacher's kid. Everyone had high expectations of her in the exam-obsessed country where she lived. But Tammy had a secret. Her mind played tricks on her when she read. To make matters worse, she's a Peranakan who had to take Chinese exams. Mandarin, a foreign language to her was the native tongue of her rivals in class.
On top of that, Tammy seemed to have a large part of her brain missing - the part that's supposed to hold common sense.
Join ditzy, klutzy Tammy as she navigates through School's challenges, rabid younger kids and wayward shuttlecocks as she and her cousins drive the adults up the wall.
This book is a must read for parents with young school-going kids, more than for the kids themselves.
It also contains the study strategies of a hopeless ditz of a kid who topped her class in exams.
