You Wont Believe This by Adam Baron

From the author of bestselling debut Boy Underwater comes another moving, hilarious novel of friendship and family secrets, which shows that people are people, no matter where theyre from.

BOY UNDERWATER WAS SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE AWARD, AND SELECTED AS WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE MONTH.

Heres something you wont believe: someone is doing TERRIBLE things to Mrs Martin, Cymbeline Igloos favourite teacher of all time.

Cymbeline has to find the culprit (after hes learned what culprit means). Hes also got to help his friend Veronique, whose grandma is dangerously ill. It seems Nanai has a secret, connected to her arrival in the UK as a Boat Person from Vietnam, a traumatic journey in which she lost her twin sister. Can Cymbeline figure out the mystery in time?

One thing is for sure: even the most unexpected people can change your life in wonderful ways . . .

You Wont Believe This Reviews

Praise for Boy Underwater:

An absolute corker of a tale, whose delicate themes mental health, missing loved ones are handled with fluid grace Observer

This poignant novel is about love and loss, but, told from the viewpoint of a child too young to grasp all that grown-ups do, it is also funny. With evocative monochrome illustrations, it bears you up as soon as you plunge in Sunday Times Childrens Book of the Week

Involving and wryly funny, full of tenderness, eccentricity and intriguing meditations on the function of art, this story of grief, depression and the different facets of identity is well-served by Benji Daviess thoughtful illustrations Guardian

The witty humour and dialogue are the perfect foil to the unresolved grief and anxiety that underpin this impressive debut Daily Mail
