Felix’s deeply engrossing and fully immersive first-person narrative of homelessness is both illuminating and heartbreaking. An outstanding addition to the inadequate-parent genre.” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred

FESTIVAL BOOK

No Fixed Address

Felix Knuttson, age 12, has a knack for trivia. He aims to put this knowledge to good use on his favourite game show, Who, What, Where, When and help improve his and his mother’s living situation. Winning the cash prize could make everything okay again. But things don’t turn out the way he expects….

No Fixed Address is a touching and funny middle-grade story about family, friendship, and growing up when you’re one step away from homelessness.

Princess Puffybottom … and Darryl

What’s a pampered cat to do once she has to compete for attention with an ill-mannered puppy? Princess Puffybottom … and Darryl is a laugh-a-minute twist on the classic sibling rivalry story that also serves as a refresher on conflict resolution.
