#RorySparkesAndTheElephantInTheRoom
Rory Sparkes can’t stand his red hair, freckles and being unusually tall, because all he’s ever wanted is to fit in.
Donna loves being loud, charging around and starting water fights. Donna is terrible at fitting in.
That’s probably because she is an elephant!
When Donna and the circus stomp into Rory’s life, they bring him more attention than ever.
But maybe their chaos, noise and friendship is actually exactly what he needs?
Rory Sparkes and the Elephant in the Room is publishing in paperback on 26th March. Preorder now! (link in bio)
