Synopsis

"Life sucks. School sucks. Teachers suck. Families suck, especially dads. Dads suck most of all.' 13 yr old Dan is not having a good time. Mum and Dad are constantly arguing and Dan and his best friend Naomi conclude a divorce has to be on the cards. Then one morning Dad disappears. Dan assumes he has found a new girlfriend and won't want to see him anymore. When he confronts Mum about it, she finally tells him the truth…it’s a truth which means life will never quite be the same again. 'Evolution is one of those books that will stay with me for a long time. I was sucked into the story from the very beginning. We need to have these books to support and educate our young people. Covering a sensitive topic about having a transsexual family member, this is a rare book and truly is quite strikingly accomplished. ' Emma Suffield School Librarian of the year 2018 and book blogger.
