As a fully fledged Lesbian with queer parents this is everything I'd want from young person's fiction. Thank you, Ben, for creating this masterpiece. The writing is witty, intelligent and easy to follow, 5/5! Today I'm here to talk to you about a very sweet novel: Me, my dad and the rainbow by Benjamin Dean!

It is certainly a book aimed at a younger audience, the writing is really nice and confidential, in fact the novel begins with Archie asking the reader to watch his back for make sure no one is spying on him because in the following pages he will reveal one of his greatest secrets! A great introduction to the magic of Pride, that difference isn’t scary and learning that there’s a place for everyone. But how difficult will it be to face the reality of things?

I wish I had this book when I was young. I had so much fun reading this and with every chapter I was imagining what it would look like on the screen. Look forward to seeing more from this author In short, the plot: the protagonist is Archie, a twelve-year-old boy who finds himself facing a fairly difficult moment: the separation of his parents.

It was a joy to read. A really beautiful children’s book with plenty for adults to enjoy too. This needs to be made into a film immediately. - Well done Ben ☺️

All this to try to understand what is happening to his family and to make sure that the love that binds there is not destroyed by prejudice! I’ll be shouting about how important this story is and how vital it’s message is for a long time, and I would love to see it implemented into every primary school library programme. Very uplifting and affirming. I found this brilliant formula and I think it is the right key to introducing a seemingly simple story but which in itself contains important and delicate themes.

I found the protagonist a child with a unique sensibility who, rather than closing himself in, decides to ask for help from his friends and his extravagant blue-haired Babysitter! Archie then decides to investigate together with his two best friends. I’ve never written a book review before finishing the actual book, but I don’t need to finish this bundle of joy to let you know how perfect it is.
