Diary of a Number One Superfan

A funny, fictional book all about Taylor Swift – packed with facts!




The first book in a new series from bestselling, award-winning author Pamela Butchart. This book explores global superstar Taylor Swift's rise to fame written from the perspective of her absolute, number one, biggest child-fan.

\"AAHHHHH!!!! I am going to see TAYLOR SWIFT in concert. And, in case it wasn’t obvious, I am Taylor’s official biggest fan ever. I don’t have a certificate or a badge or anything to prove it. But I know a lot about Taylor Swift. Like, a LOT. I’m pretty sure I know facts about Taylor Swift that even her BEST FRIENDS, her FAMILY and her CATS don’t know.\"

Gemma is a Taylor Swift superfan. As she journals the build-up to her first Taylor concert, she’s also navigating school, friendships, a dad who refuses to accept why Taylor Swift is the most talented musician in the world AND trying to become a songwriter herself.

Alongside record-breaking facts and stats about Taylor, her music, and of course her cats, this is a warm and funny tween diary narrative about owning who you are and following your dreams.

The first book in a brand new series about the lives of pop stars through the eyes of a superfan, by bestselling and award-winning children's book author, Pamela Butchart.
