THE DAD TRAP – IAN EAGLETON

Instant enemies, William and Florence are horrified to find out their dads are dating each other—and are forced to work together to split them up! This fun, warm‑hearted, celebratory adventure for readers aged 9+ is a modern, inclusive twist on *The Parent Trap* for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Elle McNicoll and Benjamin Dean. When William and Florence meet on the first day of Year Six, they instantly dislike each other. William is impulsive, endlessly chatty and struggles in school. His home life is safe and predictable—just him and his dad, who adopted him as a solo parent—and that’s how William likes it. Florence is sullen, cold, and everything seems to come easily to her. She’s moved after her parents’ divorce, but she’s convinced she won’t be staying long because they’ll definitely get back together… But then Florence and William discover that their dads have started seeing each other. Now they must put their differences aside, because only if they work together might they stand a chance of splitting up their dads… Let the sabotage commence!

A heartfelt story filled with funny, energetic pranks and antics! It sensitively explores LGBTQ themes, neurodivergence, adoption, blended families and the unshakeable love between a father and his son.
