January
The Suitcase Kid
“When my parents split up they didn’t know what to do with me. My family always lived at Mulberry Cottage. Mum, Dad, me – and Radish, my Sylvanian rabbit. But now, Mum lives with Bill the Baboon and his three kids. Dad lives with Carrie and her twins. And where do I live? I live out of a suitcase.”
Ever since her parents split up, Andy’s been a ‘suitcase kid’. One week at Mum’s, one week with Dad’s new family. No-one seems to realise it, but Andy feels completely lost. When will she find a home where she belongs? An honest, sad and funny story of divorce – and getting through it.
