THE BESTSELLING NEW SERIES FOR KIDS, TOLD ENTIRELY IN THE FORM OF A GROUP CHAT, FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND COMEDY-WRITER, EMILY-JANE CLARK.
Welcome to the group chat! It's called Cringe Club because, as you might have guessed, it contains a cringe binge of EPIC proportions.
My name is Kennedy King and I have been FORCED to move to London by The Mother. I have just started Hellington High School (aka HELL HIGH). The only GOOD thing about moving is that The Mother has finally agreed to let me have my own phone (guilt present) so I can stay in touch with my best friends. Enter at your own risk (of cringe) and remember . . . what is said in Cringe Club, STAYS in Cringe Club.
- Features themes of fitting in and making friends, starting a new school and (most importantly) embracing your cringe!
- For readers aged 8+ with illustrations throughout
Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries

An epically hilarious read, full of heart, that navigates the ups and downs of the cringe-fest that is the first term of secondary school. This brilliant series will resonate with tweenagers everywhere and bring them pun-tastic fun, laugh-out-loud friendship fails and the page-turning mystery of what that weird teacher keeps in their cupboard . . .
