Hope Crumble and her family serve up cakes, coffee, and calamity in this hilarious new series from much-loved author Catherine Wilkins, illustrated throughout by the brilliant Katie Abey.
"A beautifully funny story – effortlessly brilliant." – Romesh Ranganathan
Running a bustling café is Hope’s family’s dream—but it’s definitely not hers! While Dad and Gran battle it out in the kitchen, Mum tries to balance the books while serving quiche to hordes of hungry pensioners. Meanwhile, Hope's dramatic sister Stacey is determined to turn life into a stage, and her "wishes-he-was-on-Wall-Street" cousin Connor decides to buy novelty costumes to advertise the business. And then Auntie Rita rocks up… Café Crumble is tipping straight into Café Chaos!
Luckily for her family, Hope is there to save the day—though ideally, this wouldn’t involve dressing up as a giant ice cream and dancing outside the school gates.
You’ll laugh (a lot), you’ll cry (with even more laughter), and you’ll develop a strange yearning for caroons (whatever they are!). Welcome to Café Chaos!
"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
