Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow
Book Review
I will always support my Dad like Archie supports his
I like this book so much because the story is very touching, exciting and also funny.
I also like playing Mario Kart and seeing movies with my Dad as Archie does. I think I still have many things that can be done with my Dad in the future.
The story makes me feel motivated by Archie’s boldness. He still loves and supports his Dad even he knows his dad was gay and parents got divorced. My dad is unemployed now and I know he is struggling. I will always support my Dad like Archie supports his.
I like Archie and his friends (Seb and Bell), they are brave and fantastic characters, and it is funny that they found their way to London Pride on their own. By the way, I have two best friends too, but I don’t think we guys would be allowed to go to London on our own!
About the Book
This is a warm-hearted story for readers aged 9 – 12 years with a pro-LGBGTQ theme written by Benjamin Dean and illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat.
Things aren’t going great for Archie Albright. His dad’s acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were happy and still lived together. When Archie sees a colourful, crumpled flyer fall out of Dad’s pocket, he thinks he may have found the answer. The only snag is that the answer might just lie at the end of the rainbow, an adventure away.
Together with his best friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and unforgettable journey to try and fix his family, even if he has to break a few rules to do it…
