PAPERBACK
Author: Â Maria Farrer
Illustrator: Â Daniel Rieley
Â
Warm, funny, and quietly moving, ME AND MISTER P: JOE’S NEW WORLD is a heart-lifting story about change, friendship, and finding comfort when everything feels unfamiliar.
Â
Joe’s life is turned upside down when his parents announce they’re moving house - not just to a new street or town, but to a completely different country. Suddenly Joe is expected to start again: new school, new friends, new everything. But all Joe really wants is his old life, his old friends, and people who already understand him - bad jokes and all.
As if things couldn’t get stranger, Joe’s suitcase goes missing at the airport… and instead, he ends up with an enormous polar bear. Enter Mister P - unexpected, inconvenient, and somehow exactly what Joe needs. As Joe struggles to adapt to his new world, Mister P proves to be the most helpful (ish) friend of all.
Written by Maria Farrer, this charming story blends gentle humour with emotional honesty, tackling big feelings about moving, belonging, and change in a way that feels reassuring and relatable. The gorgeous illustrations scattered throughout add warmth and visual appeal, making the story especially inviting for developing readers.
Explores friendship, acceptance, and resilience, and perfect for children facing new beginnings - or anyone who’s ever felt out of place - Me and Mister P: Joe’s New World reminds us that sometimes the best friendships arrive when we least expect them.
