The Last Book I Loved: Dads, Geeks & Blue Haired Freaks by Ellie Phillips.

Sadie Nathanson is freaked when she receives a card from her Dad for her birthday, because she has no idea who her Dad is: he was a sperm donor. She suspects the card to be a nasty joke from her ex best friend but decides to find her Dad anyway using the internet and her own wiles.

The story zips along with plenty of surprises and laughter, and quite a few hairstyles too! The voice of the main character is excellent, I really felt for Sadie and and rooted for her during her search. Her family were a hoot and I’d love to see more of them.

I thought this was a recently interesting topic to cover in a teen novel, and not one I’ve seen before. More and more children come into this world under different circumstances and live in different family units so it was nice to see a book cover this sensitively while not being preachy; it’s very much a fun, fast-paced read with an interesting heroine.

I recommend it, and I hope we see more of Sadie and her family.
