"Another perfectly observed and pitched story of Year 7 life, funny, warm and true"
April 2024 Book of the Month
Like many boys in year 7, Daniel mostly likes life at big school, but he’s still finding his way, especially when it comes to working out who to have as friends. His home life is challenging too. He’s responsible for looking after his little sisters when his mum’s chronic fatigue syndrome is bad; money is tight, and dad is often worried.
Things come to a head when he’s offered the part of the Cowardly Lion in the school’s production of The Wizard of Oz. Daniel loves being on stage but is desperate to keep it from his new friends. Fortunately, even if his so-called mates don’t get it, others do.
The second in this new series from Lisa Williamson covers big themes and emotions, and every bit of it feels true to life, Daniel’s troubles and eventual triumph described with warmth, insight and sensitivity. These big-hearted contemporary stories have a very broad appeal.
It would be easy to assume that nothing much bothers Daniel Littleton. Since starting at the Henry Bigg Academy a few months earlier, he’s made friends with a big group of lads, enjoys playing on his Xbox and seems to like nothing better than teasing his desk neighbour, Lola.

Double Drama is a fun and engaging book about an ordinary boy, called Daniel. His family are not helpful, and he does not have all the gadgets that his friends do. However, things start going out of control when he gets the lead role in the play. His friends will tease him for life if they find out, so he must keep secrets and tell lies if he wants things to stay as they are.
