Now, I love all the books I’ve narrated, but this is hands down, my favourite one (so far)! I know, I know, I’m not supposed to have favourites. But – a real, uplifting story about making friends in a new place, that also tackles bullying<\/span>, teaches geography\/environmental biology\/different cultures, with super resources including funky music playlist, and a whole host of fun characters for my actor-self to play? I’m sorry, I’m having a favourite.<\/p>\n
