My Especially Weird Week with Tess
by Anna Woltz, David Dean (illustrator) & translated by David Colmer
Sam is a thoughtful 11 year old boy on holiday on a small island with his family. It isn’t going to plan: his brother breaks his ankle, and his mother is lying low with a migraine. Then Sam meets Tess, who — like a whirlwind — involves him in her quirky plan to find her father. In English for the first time, this is an award-winning novel by a popular Dutch author, which has also been made into a prize-winning film.
Ages 8-12
