WINNER OF THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS 2022. A rainbow-filled, JOYOUS debut from a hugely exciting new talent. Perfect for 9+ readers and fans of Elle McNicoll, Lisa Thompson and Onjali Rauf’s The Boy at the Back of the Class.
My name’s Archie Albright, and I know two things for certain:
1. My mum and dad kind of hate each other, and they’re not doing a great job of pretending that they don’t anymore.
2. They’re both keeping a secret from me, but I can’t figure out what.
Praise for ME, MY DAD AND THE END OF THE RAINBOW:

I thought that at the start, the barrier between Archie and his dad was pretty sad. Seb and Bel were really nice to him. At the end when they all went to pride it was really sweet

I like the book because it was very interesting and adventurous. A boy in the story called Archie realises his dad is gay but when a rainbow flyer falls out of his pocket, Archie goes to London Pride in search of answers. But does he have to go?

My name's Archie and I know two things for sure: 1. Mum and dad hate each other a little bit. 2. They are hiding a big secret from me. All Archie wants is his parents to be happy again and stop arguing but when he overhears the secret, his dream is blown apart. But when a colourful flyer falls out of dad's pocket Archie thinks he's found the answer. One problem. This may lay at the end of the rainbow...

I feel that this book explored some very difficult topics like gayness.My favourite character was Bell because I thought she was quite confident, sarcastic and born to be a leader.I would recommend it to a person who is feeling insecure about their sexuality.

It was really good. Moral : Just because you do something different it doesn't make you different it just adds up to the cake
