I absolutely loved this book. It was so wholesome and sweet, yet I believe it has such an important message.Archie, Seb and Bell are such a fantastic characters. I loved them, what a trio. I loved there friendship, I loved how the support each other. They also made me laugh, Bell is so funny. It made me laugh out loud and books never do that. Honestly they are so adorable. There’s other great characters in this. Archie dad, who journey of self acceptance is touched upon, is really moving. It’s such a fun, meaningful story. I loved the adventure that the gang went on. And I have to say, as someone who has never been to a pride parade I am insanely jealous of them. I don’t want give to much of the gangs adventure away but it is fun, and it also has so much heart. And the adventure ends so brilliantly. This is obviously a book for children, but i think its a book everyone should read. It has such a wonderful important message. It shows the importance of acceptance. And its from a perspective I’ve not read before. It also shows the importance of found family that is often so vital to the queer community. It also made me cry, I couldn’t help. The message is just put across so well. Dean has written a brilliantly book. It’s funny, it’s sweet and its vital. I love that theres a queer book like this out in the world, especially for children. It’s a diverse, inclusive book that I sincerely hope you all decide to pick up. I can’t recommend this book enough. I’m looking forward to what Dean writes next. I guess all there’s left to say is, can we have some more adventures from Archie and the gang?Thank you so much to Simon & Schusters Children’s books for gifting me a copy of this book in return for an honest, unbiased review. It’s out February 4th.

I was never excited to pick this book back up, even so close to the end, and I couldn’t stand the characters at times.

This was honestly sunshine in the form of a book. It was written for younger readers, so it's definitely not one of my all time favourites, but it was so accessible for all ages and the message was so beautiful and nuanced. The characters were so much fun to read about, all of the friendships and relationships were super well written and I didn't stop smiling while reading it. Would definitely recommend, especially as an introduction to queer literature for younger readers, or as a comfort read for anyone wanting a wholesome LGBTQ+ story to give them serotonin.
