What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics

Ideal Reader
A child aged 9-11 who feels like the 'normal' one in a quirky family, or who is a middle child struggling to be heard. Perfect for readers who enjoy diary-style formats like 'Dork Diaries' or 'Amelia's Notebook' and are navigating the shift from childhood friendships to more complex pre-teen social dynamics.
