My Life on Fire
Written by Cath Howe
A tense, page-turning story that sensitively deals with themes of family upheaval and kleptomania.
Ren’s family have lost their home in a fire. They’re living with her grandmother now and things are a bit tense. Ren lost her collection of things, her clothes; her brother lost his little bear and is inconsolable. So Ren starts replacing things with other people’s possessions. They’ve got loads of stuff, after all. But she gets caught and must strike a terrifying deal to avoid detection. . .
If you love Jacqueline Wilson, you’ll love Cath Howe! She writes brilliant, empathetic stories of real-life children with real-life issues in an engaging and commercial way.
