The Trouble with Everything — Crestfield Road Book One

The Okafor-Webb family is not quiet.

Grace runs the house. Samuel narrates the cooking. Black Grandma arrives exactly when she's needed. Eddie the dog has eyebrows that say more than most people's sentences. And the three children — Eli, Maya and Sol — are about to start a term at Cranbrook Primary that will change what they think music is, what school is for, and what happens when you say something real in front of people who are listening.

There's a new PE teacher whose trainers are always clean. A music teacher who plays the piano every morning alone with the door closed. A woman with a clipboard who is more than she appears. And a concert coming that nobody is ready for.

The Trouble with Everything is a story about a family, a school, and the moment when ordinary life starts to hum.

And the dog? The dog can't speak. Not yet.

For readers aged 8–12.
