About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Stan is going on holiday to Italy with his (fifth) best friend Felix and a load of strangers.

Stan is absolutely terrified.

Luckily, his mum's given him an emergency list that includes how to survive a shark attack, and what to do if he gets kidnapped.

Stan thinks that a better list would include how to cope with odd food, and what to do if he accidentally calls Felix's mum 'mum' in front of everybody.

And it soon turns out Italy is full of dangers and things that can go wrong. One thing's for certain, Stan's not going to come back the same boy he left. He just hope he comes back at all . . .

Worst. Holiday. Ever is a story about facing fears, dealing with worries, and how it's OK to be anxious, scared, and sometimes a little bit brave.

I loved listening to this book, and I can say I’ve listened to it about 20 times in a month. I adored every aspect or the book including the bit where Felix and Stan fell out.
I hope you read this and thank you for such a great book.

Adults everywhere should read Stan's story - beautifully written and a reminder to us all about where things truly start. A fantastic tale that is all too real.

A Great Reminder

Stan is 12 years old and feeling the anxieties of the big wide world and how he can fit within it. It's a lovely story, with strong characters, great snippets of wisdom and laugh out loud moments.

Enjoyed this book immensely as a parent listening with my 11 year old son (who loved it too).

Amusing, charming, relatable, profound!!
