Description
A funny and incredibly moving new novel of our times by one of the most talented children’s book authors working today, perfect for fans of Wonder, Frank Cottrell-Boyce or The Boy at the Back of the Class.
Cymbeline Igloo is BORED. Bored of home learning, bored of lockdown, bored of not being able to DO anything. And to make things even worse, his mum accidentally gave away his favourite football shirt.
But then Mrs Stebbings, the beloved school cook, is taken into hospital, and suddenly coronavirus seems much closer to home. When Cym starts a project all about Mrs Stebbings’ childhood in World War II, he can’t know that it’s the beginning of something incredible and even dangerous.
Exploring the place where her street once stood, he finds a tent, a strange girl wearing HIS SHIRT, and a mystery that will change absolutely everything. Because the past is more present than Cymbeline can possibly know – and the most amazing thing is how much one small person can do RIGHT NOW…
Some Sunny Day is a story of hope, kindness and the history we all make every day, no matter who we are.

Cymbaline is a kid facing the beginning of the pandemic. His family is separated by the lockdowns and quarantines and his mom is going a little stir crazy with nerves and lack of productivity and he's missing his friend and favorite teachers.
He navigates doing remote school, dealing with supply shortages, meeting new friends facing far worse, and the devastating loss of a beloved community member.
This is a fantastic middle grade novel to help kids who experienced covid and it's impact process.

One of the few books out there that happens durring the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, it is not only in the background, but the lynch pin of the whole story, which is refreshing.
I liked how the main character was bored with zoom school,, and wanted to do anything else, but attend to it. So it makes sense that he jumps about doing a project, rather than sit in front of the computer.
And because of that, he does have an adventure, finding some children who are homeless, that he is able to help.
Sweet and funny story of being bored, and learning to work around it.
<em> Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
