The Double Life of Ted Amos

Ted's parents are divorced, and for the most part it's OK by him, spending his weekends with Dad and his new family. But then Ted realizes that he can totally test out a whole new Ted on weekends by stretching the truth, and suddenly he's the Ted he's always wanted to be! But lies are hard to keep up with.

A heart-warming and hilarious story about one boy who wants to fit in, the friends he meets along the way, and one NASTY BLOUSE...

Ted has always wanted to be a popular kid, but due to an embarrassing incident that will not be named, he finds it harder than ever to fit in.

But when Ted's parents split up, his whole life changes.

Although leaving his best friend Archie behind sucks, Ted is about to discover that staying with his dad might have its perks. Because with a new start, is the chance to re-invent yourself... that's right, Ted has the opportunity to choose his new identity and it's going to be FRESH.

But can Ted keep up the cool-kid charade, or will his lies catch up with him?

An approachable and funny take on the common experience of children navigating what it means to have divorced parents and have two homes.

Authored by acclaimed children's and YA writer, and Carnegie-nominated Simon James Green, whose middle-grade book Finn Jones Was Here became Indie Book of the Month.

With fantastic illustrations throughout from Jennifer Jamieson that bring the heart and humour to life.
