This Is My Big Mistake

“Pretending to be Jack was supposed to help him. I probably should have thought about what happened when Holly found out.”

My name is Jake Morrow. I'm twelve years old.

THE STORY

One Good Intention. One Terrible Decision.

A funny, heartfelt story about growing up, first crushes and discovering that even the best intentions can have painful consequences.

Jake only wants to help his twin brother, Jack. Surely that can't go wrong...

But one small decision leads to another until Jake finds himself trapped inside a mistake that becomes bigger every time he tries to fix it.

As friendships are tested and feelings become increasingly complicated, Jake discovers that saying sorry is sometimes the hardest thing a person can do.

AT THE HEART OF THIS STORY

The Girl at the Centre of the Mistake

Holly Carter thinks she is getting to know Jack. Jake knows otherwise.

Portrait of Holly Carter

“Holly only wanted to make a new friend. Jake accidentally made things much worse.”

Holly loves astronomy, photography and wildlife. She's kind, thoughtful and completely unaware that two brothers are quietly trying to impress her.

Jake believes he's helping Jack. Instead, every decision pulls him further away from the truth until the mistake seems impossible to undo.
