Reach for this book when your child starts feeling like their individual interests or quirks don't fit in, or when your family needs a reminder that collective chaos can be a superpower. Friday's Tunnel is a classic British adventure following the six Callendar children as they navigate their father's disappearance and a global crisis involving a mysterious new mineral. It is a story about the strength of large families, the value of unconventional hobbies, and the surprising competence of children when given the space to lead. While the plot involves international intrigue, the heart of the book remains the witty, relatable dynamics between siblings. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who enjoy dry humor and stories where the adults are slightly less capable than the kids.
