Boy Underwater by Adam Baron
“A masterclass in narrative voice, Cymbeline is a perfectly realised character. The use of first person narrative is effective in developing the reader’s empathy for Cymbeline, and as a tool to further develop your understanding of his motivations and worries. This book dealt with some sensitive themes in a thoughtful and measured way – from friendship issues at school to parental mental health. A poignant reveal at the end, too. Thoroughly enjoyable read recommended for UKS2 and above.”
