‘Funny, wise and warm.’ Daily Mail

‘A clever, thoughtful and totally original book.’ The Bookseller, Editor’s Choice

‘The enjoyable format has huge appeal and unexpected value as it is thoughtful, empowering and wise as well as wryly comic.’ LoveReading

‘Fun, clever and interactive’ The Week Junior, Book of the Week

‘Rollercoaster of a book’ First News

Fred can’t make a decision about anything –

his parents always tell him what to do, from what to eat every day to which secondary school to choose.

that’s how Fred has found himself a pupil at the high-pressure, strict Gains School, when he’d much rather be going to Browtree, with its brilliant art department and kind teachers.

As Fred waits for the bus to his new school, he sees the bus for Browtree pull up – and a wild, thrilling, thought strikes him. Should he jump on this bus and pretend he’s a new student at Browtree?

Will he be brave enough to follow a different path for once?

You, the reader, will stand in Fred’s shoes and make decisions alongside him throughout this story. You’ll help him stand-up for what he believes in, learn what he truly loves to do, make good friends and face choices about whether to swerve or walk into drama.

YOU are in charge of The Boy With Big Decisions!

  • An interactive book with multiple pathways for kids to follow – Sliding Doors for a younger audience!
  • A book to encourage empathy and kindness in young readers
  • Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Jenny Pearson.
