Description
Dixie is the youngest of the Diamond family. She and her sisters, dreamy Martine, glamorous Rochelle and tough Jude, could hardly be more different from one other, but their mum is trying to teach them the value of sticking together. Mum is expecting another baby and convinced this one’s a boy. Time to move to a bigger place she insists, and the girls scarcely have time to protest before they find themselves at their new house. It’s rough, dilapidated and filthy, and before they have even unpacked the furniture, mum goes into labour. By the time she returns home with the new baby, Jude’s been in a fight, Rochelle’s found a new boyfriend, and Martine’s stormed off. Another slice of realistic contemporary life from the UK’s most popular children’s author. Ages 8-12 and a companion to code 91223 Worst Thing About My Sister. With section on things to think about, 313pp in paperback with fairly large print, illustrated by Nick Sharratt.
