Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow
by Benjamin Dean
Me, my dad and the edge of the rainbow by Benjamin Dean
Thank you to @netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for the ARC
Rating *****
Date of release 3/3/2021
Synopsis:
When Archie sees a colourful, crumpled flyer fall out of Dad's pocket, he thinks he may have found the answer. Only problem? The answer might just lie at the end of the rainbow, an adventure away.
Together with his best friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and unforgettable journey to try and fix his family, even if he has to break a few rules to do it...
The rainbow-filled, joyous debut from a hugely exciting new talent.
Review:
This book was amazing and something that I will be recommending for anyone of any age to read, it is about a story of self-acceptance when your world has been changed by your dad coming out as gay. This was a book that I think a lot of people would have wanted when they were growing up when they are trying to work out who they are and I will be recommending it to people the rep was great in this book and it was such a heart-warming story which made me cry. I loved the relationships and how it was woven. The way that at the end of the day someone is just them and Archie coming to accept that. I loved how adventurous a certain moment was and Seb, I loved him as a side character he made me laugh and we all know that one friend (It was me when I was younger).
I am hoping that this could mean that more diversity is accepted, and it is not seen as something to be shied away from because love is love no matter who you are or who you love. This is what middle grade needs more of. Thank you for Ben for doing this.
I loved the format of this book also and how it was written I cannot wait to read more from this author because the book written for a debut was one that will be needed for many more years to come.
