Two Weeks with the Queen [Paperback]

**Two Weeks with the Queen** - because sometimes you need royal intervention when life gets properly rubbish.

When Colin's little brother gets cancer, this gutsy Australian kid decides the Queen herself should sort it out. Obviously. His brilliant plan? Write to Her Majesty demanding the world's best doctor. What follows is a heartwarming, hilarious journey through London as Colin discovers that hope, friendship, and finding your voice matter more than royal connections.

Morris Gleitzman crafts a children's novel that tackles serious themes—illness, family, growing up—without talking down to young readers. Perfect for ages 9-13, especially kids who appreciate protagonists with proper backbone and stories that don't wrap everything in cotton wool.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks has all the dog-eared charm you'd expect from a book that's been properly loved.

**Reader Reviews:**
"Made me laugh and cry in equal measure. Colin's determination is infectious and the ending genuinely surprised me."
"Finally, a children's book that doesn't pretend everything's always fine. Brilliant characters, honest storytelling."
