Due to lockdown they never finished but I decided we would. Don't forget Roger dependable cat. A truly lively story heart breaking following a 10 year Jamie living with his drunk dad, his mum legt with her therapist, his moody sister and Rose who lives on the mantelpiece.
A journey for hope and love. Beautifully written. Full of emotions. Borrowed from my local library my year 7 was reading as part of English Syllabus.
