Summary

For fans of John Corey Whaley, a clever coming-of-age story about fitting in and finding your way in a too-complicated world. 
 
Pitch-perfect and hilarious." - Kirkus Reviews 
 
Fifteen-year-old Sam is not a famous vlogger, he's never gone viral, and he doesn't want to be the Next Big Thing. In fact, he's ordinary and proud of it. None of which was a problem until Dad got rich and Mom made the whole family move to London. Now Sam's off to the North London Academy for the Gifted and Talented, where everyone's busy planning Hollywood domination or starting alt-metal psychedelica crossover bands. Sam knows he'll never belong, even if he wanted to -- but can he find himself on his own terms?

    “Your child will make you read this one over and over and over again. The best part is that your kids will learn life lessons without even knowing it!” —Hoda Kotb, co-anchor of the Today show   Catherine is an only child, but she’s never alone. She has Baby Doll, Lamb, Mr. Elephant, Lady Ladybug, and Bonnie Bunny to keep her giggling all afternoon with their stories and antics. While the tagalongs tease each other about their shortcomings, Catherine the Great, with her insightful, big brown eyes, sees the goodness in them all.   In the end, everyone has learned to share and be good to one another, and Catherine is ready to take on more adventures.   Filled with charming dialogue and plenty of silly situations, this makes for a wonderful read-aloud book.  “With each turn of the page you seem to share a kindred spirit with Catherine and her ‘tagalong crowd,’ and you almost secretly wish that she would invite you, too, to join in the tea party.” —Frank Davis, Naturally N’Awlins host, WWL-TV
