What to expect
Hope Crumble and her family serve up cakes, coffee and calamity in this hilarious new series from much-loved author Catherine Wilkins and read by comedian Stevie Martin.
The second heartwarming and hilarious story in the Café Chaos series.
Hope's mum has mistakenly over-ordered the beans and they only have two months to get through them all! Several hilarious family meetings take place to discuss ideas: Aunt Rita comes over all 'flavours of Mexico' while Connor wants a bean-eating competition to catch the post-gym crowd.
Hope is trying to distance herself from it all in a bid to have 'time to be a child' and let her family sort out their own crises. But she can't deprive her family of her problem-solving abilities for long. Rescue comes in the unlikely form of Skyla – Hope's arch enemy and school bully – who needs a place to hold her charity fashion show.
Praise for Café Chaos:
"A beautifully funny story – effortlessly brilliant." – Romesh Ranganathan
"This funny and relatable story will appeal to fans of Jacqueline Wilson, as well as children who, like Hope, have to stand up to their families to make their wishes heard." – The Bookseller
Look out for more café capers in upcoming Café Chaos books!
