The Spectacular Suit by Kat Patrick

SCRIBE, £12.99 REVIEW BY PRUDENCE WADE

The first things that pop out in The Spectacular Suit are the amazing illustrations, by Hayley Wells, and bright colour scheme. Vibrant blues and reds fly off the page – but that’s not the only reason to pick up the book. It tells the story of Frankie, a young girl who’s planning her birthday party. She wants everything to be perfect – except she can’t find the right outfit that truly feels like her. She wants a spectacular suit to really express her personality, but where can she find one at the last minute? It’s a heartwarming and relatable tale about a young person trying to find how they fit in, and explores non-traditional gender roles.
