Description

THE BESTSELLING NEW SERIES FOR KIDS, TOLD ENTIRELY IN THE FORM OF A GROUP CHAT, FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AND COMEDY-WRITER, EMILY-JANE CLARK.

Welcome to the group chat! It's called Cringe Club because, as you might have guessed, it contains a cringe binge of EPIC proportions.

My name is Kennedy King and I have been FORCED to move to London by The Mother. I have just started Hellington High School (aka HELL HIGH). The only GOOD thing about moving is that The Mother has finally agreed to let me have my own phone (guilt present) so I can stay in touch with my best friends. Enter at your own risk (of cringe) and remember... what is said in Cringe Club, STAYS in Cringe Club.

  • Features themes of fitting in and making friends, starting a new school and (most importantly) embracing your cringe!
  • For readers aged 8+ with illustrations throughout
  • Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries
Readers LOVE Cringe Club:
  • “The perfect book for reluctant teens”
  • “Books like this make reading a joy”
  • “I struggle to get my teen to read books so it was wonderful to see her enjoying this one so much”
  • “An ideal gift for any tween or teen”
  • “Hilarious and perfect for tweens”

Emily-Jane Clark won the BASH award and the Fantastic Book Award with her debut.

Cringe Club was an Amazon #1 bestseller in Children's Books on Marriage & Divorce on 24/08/2025
