The Blurb On The Back:

You might want to read this book because your parents are splitting up. Or maybe you know someone whose parents are separating and you want to help them.

This book contains practical, straightforward information and advice to help you to understand why families break-up and what you can do to get through this stressful time.

The Verdict:

Tim Collins is an award-winning children’s author of both fiction and non-fiction. This sensitive book (part of a series) guides readers aged 9+ through what happens when their parents split up and their emotional response to the same and Scott Garrett’s illustrations complement the text well. However although there is good advice here I wanted some recognition of when a divorce is happening due to abuse due to the challenges it throws up.

THE KIDS’ GUIDE: DEALING WITH DIVORCE was released in the United Kingdom on 22nd September 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.

The Verdict:

This sequel to Diary Of A Wimpy Vampire is as funny as the first and takes the hapless Nigel Mullet through more triumphs and disasters. I really hope that this isn’t the last we see of him or his family.
