Blue Like Friday

To Hal, Fridays are blue, and tangy, like blue lemon sherbert. Olivia thinks he's crazy. Friday is just Friday, isn't it?

Olivia is pretty sure that Hal's mysterious plan to get rid of his not-quite-stepfather, Alec, is even weirder. But things don't go quite as either Hal or Olivia expect. Maybe the real problem is even closer to home than anyone ever imagined . . .

This gorgeously written voyage of self-discovery will entrance boys and girls aged 9+.

Reviews

A stirring tale, briskly told

—— Bournemouth Daily Echo

Naidoo shows her ability to take stories that are hot off the press, give them emotional depth and raise questions about society and our own responsibilities to each other

—— on Web of Lies , Books for Keeps

A wonderfully accessible story laced with powerful messages of family commitment and human rights. Beverley Naidoo's own South African origins and subsequent exile in London provide heartfelt spine to this book

—— Jon Snow on , winner of the Carnegie Medal , The Other Side of Truth
