Description

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

  • “I struggle to get my teen to read books so it was wonderful to see her enjoying this one so much”
  • “An ideal gift for any tween or teen”
  • “This book has got my very reluctant reader to not only pick up a book, but devour it with a passion”

Started in 2023, The Sunday Letter Project is an invitiation to slow down, and recallibrate. To take a moment for reflection, and to put pen-to-paper and bring you back to yourself. Every Sunday, take a portion of the day for yourself, and for your loved ones, and write.

Further details of how to get involved can be found on the slides, or our webpage ✒️✉️
