Synopsis

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.

It was really good, but I was quite surprised by a few swear words in it. I'm 8. I liked the fact that the main character Stan had an amazing holiday in the end. I've always wanted to go to Italy since I started reading the book.......more

I read this with my daughter starting at the beginning of the year and just reading a few pages anight. It certainly isn't aimed at my daughters age of 10. I was mortified when certain words were used in it. And wasnt comftable reading about kissing and boys bits with her. Had she been secondary sch......more

Goodreads review by Sheryl on January 15, 2022

My Oxfordshire Book Awards Shortlist read, number two. I loved it. It was sweet and funny, and actually pretty profound. Twelve-year-old Stan is going on holiday to Italy with his fifth best friend Felix. He doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t know what made him say yes, and he frankly wishes he hadn’t.......more
