Lovely book, pitched really well for younger readers, exploring the experience of being a donor-conceived child. Both the brother-sister relationship, and the children's relationship with their mums, were convincing and sweet. The enemy to friend sub-plot worked well. I thought this book highlighted an area which is seldom discussed so accessibly, and will be buying it for our school library.

What a lovely book for middle stage readers. I really enjoyed the story and was pleased the potentially expected ending wasn't wrapped up in a bow as other may have been tempted to provide. Gently thought provoking and a light examination of familial love and bonds. Will read again with my daughter. Thank you for my ARC - review is my own.

One of a few books mentioning donor conceived children this story centres around Quinn, who together with her younger brother Olly has always known her origins. Their two Mums have been open about it from when the children were young. The siblings do share an unknown father. Quinn is convinced he is key to the fact that she enjoys different activities from the rest of her family as they are so sporty and all Quinn wants to do is draw quietly. But she knows she cannot contact him until she is 18. But then, on their annual trip to the sea, the mums throw them another option when they say that they do have other siblings sharing the same father. Quinn becomes obsessed with finding out more to discover relations who too like a quiet life. But is she looking beyond what is already there?
A great book to inform about what may become much more common practice as young people today grow up.

Quinn and her brother have always known that they are donor conceived, but when their mothers tell them that there are 16 other siblings, Quinn longs to find out if there are any like her, i.e. quiet and artistic, not sporty. What a great story that blends a very serious matter with a lot of humour and empathy. The author deal with a topic that is not often written about, but which should be more widely known about. A great KS2 read.

Through an insightful snapshot of the everyday interactions between Quinn, her brother Olly, their Mama and Mum, Kristina Rahim examines what it means to be related to someone genetically and what it takes to make a family. This book has plenty of intrigue which keep the pages turning and ends with a satisfying heartfelt conclusion. A joy to read as well as being a vital book which examines some of the complexities that the growing number of donor born children may face.
