Abby struggles to adjust when her dad’s new girlfriend comes to live with them in this sensitive and touching story from acclaimed author Sally Nicholls.

Too Nice tells the story of Abby, who is used to it being just her and her dad at home. Now, her dad’s new girlfriend Jen is moving in and everything is changing. Jen is not the typical evil stepmother; rather, Abby's issue is that Jen is just too nice! With constant compliments on everything from her appearance to her schoolwork, Abby finds it all fake and claustrophobic. But how can she explain to her dad how she feels when, technically, Jen hasn’t done anything wrong?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 8.
