Jake in the Middle

​

Michael Catchpool
Shanarama

Jake in the Middle is first book in the Maple Street series, written for first readers, centred on a Black British extended family and their everyday happenings. Jake is in the middle, between elder sister Ellie who is bossy, and little brother Sam, who gets away with everything.

Four lively and realistic stories for first readers, featuring a three-generation Black British family. They stand out for their warm humour and understanding of how children think, and what they do.
