Just finished this sweet MG by Maisie Chan about 11 year old Danny who grows to love his grandma who has come from China. I could see SO many parallels to my own gran turning up at our house, but thankfully I didn’t have to share a room with her! Really enjoyed the silent but warm connection between grandparent and child. I loved the support Nai Nai got for her bingo, in fact, I just loved Nai Nai. I love relatable story about acceptance and being who you are! A.M. Dassu, author of BOY, EVERYWHERE

Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths is a heart-warming story of family, friendship and of course maths. Danny is frustrated when his Nai Nai moves from China to Birmingham - he can't believe he has to share his bedroom and is mortified when Nai Nai turns up at his school in the middle of the day! But soon Nai Nai discovers bingo and Danny becomes her accomplice as she sneaks out to play each afternoon...I love stories about family, friendship and the intense emotions of the apparently small moments in life, and Danny Chung is no exception. I also love books with lots of food! Lychees, Yorkshire puddings and of course Romanesco Cauliflower all feature, and I love it! Helen Harvey, author of EMMY LEVELS UP
