The first in a funny and lively new chapter book series – Maple Street.
Written for first readers, about a Black British extended family – Jake, older sister Ellie, little brother Sam, Mum, Dad and Grandad, all living in Maple Street. Jake in the Middle has four delightful interlinked stories about home and school life – Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! where naughty Sam runs off with Jake’s new trainers; Catch of the Day, where a favourite toy falls into the pigsty at the city farm; The Class Museum, featuring a special fossil Jake ‘borrowed’ from Ellie’s bedroom; and All Fall Down, where Grandpa displays his amazing cricket skills.
This is Book 1 in the Maple Street Series. See all Maple Street books here.
