Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow by Benjamin Dean
5.0
What a gloriously joyful read!
RTC but I adored this and, barring one or two small details, found this wonderful!

What a gloriously wonderful Middle Grade story! It was such a joy to read!
We had a story with Black lead characters, LGBT+ issues and characters with a lot of diversity (I have read several reviews from other reviewers saying some characters show signs of anxious and one character maybe being autistic). All of this being tackled beautifully for the target audience. Same with the issue of divorce and showing that adults/parents aren't perfect. Plus, this was funny. I chuckled multiply times while reading this because I got Archie's humour and I remember myself thinking exactly the same thing when I was younger.
Yes, there are one or two tiny niggles I had with this (it's me. Of course I spot things that niggle at me), but I get why these issues are in the story and written in the way it was. And yet, this book was a joy to read and these niggles didn't effect my reading.
I loved this book and can't wait to see what Benjamin Dean writes next!
