"My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The Dreadful part is my dad's joke. But in fact I am completely undreadful. It is just that sometimes my brilliant ideas turn into disasters. E.g.

You see, sawing Bridget Grimes in half for the school show was supposed to be a good thing. And I didn't mean to get up to any shenanigans on the field trip--it's not my fault I was cursed by a mummy. Plus I worked extra-especially hard on the cake of dreams...
