Reluctant-reader favourite Tony Bradman returns with a gentle and sensitively told story of life as a young carer. Mum won't get out of bed. His best friend has dumped him. And school work is just too difficult. Jayden wants to do the right thing – but how can he when it feels like the world is conspiring against him?

Everything is going wrong, and when a supply teacher turns up to take his class, Jayden's sure things will keep on getting worse.

But Mrs Wilson is not quite the teacher Jayden expected … can she help turn his bad day around?

A touching and sensitively told story of life as a young carer from beloved author Tony Bradman.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+
