About The Book

Archie is creative, noisy and loves adventure. He can battle dragons and fly through the air but there’s one thing Archie can’t do... Archie can’t sit still!
An energetic story that explores the challenges of having a busy brain and body that won’t sit still! However, once he gets to the go-kart track, everything changes and his hyperfocus goes into overdrive!
A positive and fun story about having ADHD and what it means for kids to be neurodivergent.

About The Authors

Dani Vee

Dani Vee is a children’s author, publisher, podcaster and educator. Dani is the author of junior fiction titles Riley’s FAILPROOF Guide to Breaking a School Record and My Pet Croc. She is also a picture book author of My EXTRAordinary Mum and the My EPIC Dad! series. She enjoys writing humorous books that provide opportunities for discussions about breaking stereotypes and resilience.

James Layton

James Layton’s aptly named publishing business Larrikin House says it all. He seriously forgot to grow up, so he’s pretty much still a kid in an adult's body. James giggled his way through the writing of ‘Would You Rather?’ with many scenarios so wrong they had to be edited out. The ones that survived the cut are because James is the publisher and there was nobody to tell him no!
