A stunning contemporary real-life story for 9+ readers from the much loved author of Ella on the Outside, with beautiful black and white illustrations by Miguel Bustos.

Hattie’s always longed for a sister, so when her mum’s goddaughter, Seren arrives, it’s a wish fulfilled, right? Wrong! But it’s totally fine, because she’s about to start secondary school with her best friend, get a top spot on the football team and start this super exciting new phase of life. Or maybe it’s all about to implode...

In the depths of despair, she stumbles upon a local foodbank that welcomes her in, giving her a space to find her feet. Can she make room for Seren in her life or is two really a crowd?

The latest page-turning story from Cath Howe, with her signature warmth and trademark empathy, Two Is A Crowd sensitively tackles the issues of navigating complex family situations - with a reminder that kindness is never overrated.
