Matt Haig’s latest book for children is a joy to read. We follow the 11 year old protagonist Evie, as she overcomes challenges to discover the importance of being true to yourself and that being kind is a strength. It is a fast paced novel with some emotional twists and turns which will keep you gripped from start to finish. In the authors own words, this is a book suitable for age “8 to 88”.
