WINNER OF THE UKLA BOOK AWARDS 2021 'Funny and heartfelt with a cunning twist.

Stewart Foster is a grandmaster' – ROSS WELFORD.

About the Author: Stewart Foster is an adult and children's novelist, born in Bath.

His books have won multiple school and library awards and are ed by Empathy Lab and Reading Well.

His first adult book, We Used to be Kings, was published in 2014, to the accolades of being selected as The Observers' Author to Watch, and s' Rising Star, in the same year.

His first children's book, The Bubble Boy, was published in 2016, winning Sainsbury's Children's Book Award in 2016 (Age 9+) and many schools and libraries awards, as well as being nominated for The Carnegie Book Award.

The book was published as BUBBLE, in USA and has been translated into eleven languages.

Since then, Stewart has written four more children's books – All the Things That Could Go Wrong, Checkmates, The Perfect Parent Project and Can You Feel the Noise? This book gives an inspiration to play chess.

The main character Felix has ADHD, he doesn't have good grades and gets sent to the isolation room (so a bit like detention) at least once a week because he finds it hard to concentrate.

His Granda decides to teach him chess to try and improve his concentration.

At first Felix thinks that he is rubbish at Chess but when he learns how to defend himself then he realises that it's actually quite fun.

My favourite moment in the book was when Felix won the National contest.

I felt excited for him and this inspired me to practise my chess more (I got a Chess set for Christmas).

It's a cool book about ADHD.
