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
  • Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries

Readers LOVE the Cringe Club:

  • “Cringe Club is ideal for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid [and] Dork Diaries”
  • “The perfect book for reluctant teens”
  • “Books like this make reading a joy”
  • “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”

*Cringe Club was an Amazon #1 bestseller in Children’s Books on Marriage & Divorce on 24/08/2025

**Emily-Jane Clark won the BASH award and the Fantastic Book Award with her debut.

How about a non-fic read? Bookseller Ethan recommends 'We Were There' by Lanre Bakare

Bakare brings together a collection of often overlooked voices that feel deeply personal and rooted in place. Moving across different lives and perspectives, explore identity, community, and what it means to grow up in spaces that are often misunderstood. Reading this book, you feel like you’re listening closely to real stories, admiring resilience, and recognising elements of yourself in them, even when the experiences are not your own. It’s a celebration Black Britain beyond London.📚🤓🎶

House of Books & Friends is ecstatic to welcome Jess Bacon to the store on 15th June at 6pm to discuss their book, ‘I’m Just a Girl’: How Reclaiming Girlhood Can Redefine Womanhood. As well as a discussion on their book, there will also be a Q&A, plus the chance to get your books signed by Jess. 

We are leaning into bringing your ‘girlhood**’ into your current self, so we encourage you to dress in a way that would make younger you proud, and we will be writing notes to our younger selves in the talk!

**’girlhood’ in this sense is gender neutral – what aspects of your youth do you wish to hold onto? What do you think you had to ‘leave behind’ as you entered adulthood?
