“Easy to read but rich in incident and character.”
Magpies Magazine
Growing up is never easy…
Sue is in trouble. She is being bullied - subtly, relentlessly, by another girl intent on making her an outsider. When Sue changes schools, she keeps in touch with her cousin Mitch by email. But Mitch is also having problems. Bullying is happening at his school too - nasty vicious bullying which could prove life-threatening. Together, and yet miles apart, Mitch and Sue must work through their respective problems.
Having read and enjoyed the book when it first came out, I was interested to see how this novel, which is basically a series of emails between two cousins, would translate into an audiobook. The answer is: surprisingly well. Stig Wemyss has narrated quite a few of Bolinda's audiobooks for children and has a fantastic character voice repertoire. There are only two voices – that of Mitch and Sue – and Stig manages to differentiate between the two characters remarkably well, one could almost swear that it was a female reading the part. He also manages to portray the minor characters well ... Mitch 2 Sue is a great story on the issue of bullying and social responsibility of the individual.
