I wish you could change dads, the way you can change library books. I wish there was a Dad Library.
Joseph is fed up with his dad. He forgets to go shopping, he cooks terrible meals, he doesn't help Joseph with his homework and he makes him eat school dinners.
Then Joseph discovers the Dad Library, crammed full with all sorts of wonderful dads. Should he borrow an Organizer Dad, or a Sporting Dad, or a Clever Dad, or an Indulgent Dad? Joseph wants to try them all. But which one will he want to keep?

—— ScribblerJust One Day is a character rich exploration of that time in life when you need to re-examine who you are. It’s about clarity, and love, and heartbreak, and angst. It’s the reason I love reading Gayle Forman’s world.

—— KirkusSweepingly romantic, this book is a living, breathing memory of the whirlwind of emotions that go hand in hand with falling in love.
—— SugarscapeJacqueline Wilson writes the kind of books you just can't put down, making you feel so many emotions that you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . a must-read for teenagers
