Full Description
Instant enemies William and Florence are horrified to find out
their dads are dating each other - and are forced to work together
to split them up! This fun, warm-hearted, celebratory adventure
for readers aged 9+ is a modern, inclusive twist on The Parent
Trap for readers of Jacqueline Wilson, Elle McNicoll and Benjamin
Dean.
When William and Florence meet on the first day of Year Six, they
instantly dislike each other.
William is impulsive, endlessly chatty and struggles in school.
His home life is safe and predictable - just him and Dad, who adopted
him as a solo parent - and that's how William likes it.
Florence is sullen, cold, and everything seems to come easily to
her. She's moved after her parents' divorce - but she's convinced
she won't be staying long because they'll definitely get
back together...
But then Florence and William find out that their dads have started
seeing each other. Now they must put their differences to one
side. Because only if they work together might they stand a chance
of splitting up their dads... Let the sabotage commence!
