What is A Bad Day for Jayden about?

Jayden is having the worst day ever. His mum will not get out of bed, his best friend has stopped speaking to him and schoolwork feels impossible. With his little sister to care for and an empty fridge at home, Jayden is struggling to cope. Then a new supply teacher, Mrs Wilson, arrives. She has troubles of her own, but perhaps she can help Jayden find a way through his anger, worries and sadness before his difficult day gets even worse.
