When William and Florence meet on the first day of Year Six, they instantly dislike each other.
William is impulsive, endlessly chatty and struggles in school. His home life is safe and predictable - just him and Dad, who adopted him as a solo parent - and that's how William likes it.
Florence is sullen, cold, and everything seems to come easily to her. She's moved after her parents' divorce - but she's convinced she won't be staying long because they'll definitely get back together...
But then Florence and William find out that their dads have started seeing each other. Now they must put their differences to one side. Because only if they work together might they stand a chance of splitting up their dads... Let the sabotage commence!
Sensitively explores LGBTQ themes, neurodivergence, adoption, blended families and the unshakeable love between a father and his son.
