Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.
Reed starts to make fake ID's for his school mates in a bid to generate money to help support his sister, Beatrice and improve their home life. Lots of discussion points raised; being a carer, taking responsibility, organ/bone transplants and dealing with a parent who can't cope, is depressed and becomes increasingly absent.
Reed's feelings about his mum's regular disappearing acts due to starting a new relationship is handled really well and very relatable. This book is full of empathy and you are with Reed all the way as he tries desperately to navigate incredibly difficult circumstances and with little support. That said, it's not a depressing read, the writing is solid and very readable and you do start to see the subtle threads of healing develop as the story unfolds. Great for empathy/discussion.
