WINNER OF THE UKLA BOOK AWARDS 2021 ‘Funny and heartfelt with a cunning twist. Stewart Foster is a grandmaster’ ROSS WELFORD ‘An inspirational underdog story and a chilling mystery! A winning combination’ DAVID SOLOMONS Some people think that Im a problem child, that Im lazy and never pay attention in lessons. But the thing is, Im not a problem child at all. Im just a child with a problem. Felix is struggling at school. His ADHD makes it hard for him to concentrate and his grades are slipping. Everyone keeps telling him to try harder, but no one seems to understand just how hard he finds it. When Mum suggests Felix spends time with his grandfather, Felix cant think of anything worse. Granddad hasnt been the same since Grandma died. Plus hes always trying to teach Felix boring chess. But sometimes the best lessons come in the most unexpected of places, and Granddad soon shows Felix that theres everything to play for.
