For Young people
Macmillan Children’s have copies The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King for book clubs of young people to read and review.
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is the hilarious YA rom-com debut from Harry Trevaldwyn. First there was Bridget Jones. Then there was Georgia Nicolson. Now get ready to meet Patch Simmons…
Patch has decided that this is the year he will get a boyfriend. Fate finally intervenes when two new mysterious boys join drama club: Peter, who’s just moved from New York (very chic) and his best friend, Sam. Patch is confident that one of them will be his first boyfriend. So, armed with his over-supportive best friend Jean and an alarming level of self-confidence, Patch sets out to make his mission a success. Whether or not they actually like boys or him is a problem for later.
The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King is an engaging and humorous young-adult romcom that’s perfect for the KS3 and KS4 audience! This delightful debut is a must-read for fans of Alice Oseman and Louise Rennison and is filled with charm, laughter, and the earnest journey of self-discovery.

Patch is the perfect protagonist to share with Pride groups – he’s unapologetically himself, and his story is an uplifting and joyful look at a teenage gay experience. Out and proud, this isn’t a coming-out story; it’s the romcom young LGBTQ+ readers and their allies deserve, and will be a vibrant addition to Pride displays.
