Would the Real Stanley Carrot Please Stand Up? by Rob Stevens
Stanley ‘Carrot’ Harris is ginger, tubby and definitely not cool. And he has a secret: he’s adopted, and this makes him feel like he’s never quite fitted in. On his thirteenth birthday, he receives the one thing he’s been waiting his whole life for: a card from his long-lost birth mother, asking to meet up. But Stanley isn’t sure: what if he’s a big disappointment to her? So he hatches a plan – and he’s going to need a stand-in Stanley, someone who is handsome, sporty and God’s Gift to Mothers. What Stanley doesn’t realise is he’s about to have the most confusing time of his life . . . just who is the real Stanley Carrot? Perfect for readers aged 11+
