Very Excited to reveal a first look at new book being published in March 2025!

Hope Crumble and her family serve up cakes, coffee and calamity in this hilarious new series from much-loved author Catherine Wilkins. Illustrated throughout by the brilliant Katie Abey.

Running a bustling café is Hope's family's dream – it's just not hers! While Dad and Gran battle it out in the kitchen, Mum tries to balance the books while serving quiche to hordes of hungry pensioners. Meanwhile Hope's dramatic sister Stacey is determined to turn all of life into a stage and her "wishes-he-was-on-Wall-Street" cousin Connor decides to buy novelty costumes to advertise the business. And then Auntie Rita rocks up…

Café Crumble is tipping straight into Café Chaos! Luckily for her family, Hope is there to save the day, though ideally this wouldn't involve dressing up as a giant ice cream and dancing outside the school gates.

You'll laugh (a lot), you'll cry (with even more laughter), you'll develop a strange yearning for caroons (whatever they are!). Welcome to Café Chaos!

Look out for these the laugh-out-loud funny books by Catherine Wilkins:

• My Best Friend and Other Enemies: A Jess Jackson Book




• You're Not the Boss of Me! (WINNER Lollies 2024, Teen)




• My Brilliant Life and Other Disasters: A Jess Jackson Book
• And more café capers in upcoming Café Chaos stories!
