Little Bits of Sky, Paperback

A compelling debut for readers aged 9+ looking for grown-up but accessible fiction. It's 1987 and Ira and Zac are moving once again, this time to a home for social care children. Their lives over the next few years are beautifully realised among the antipathy of the authorities, the drama of the poll tax riots and the moments of peace they find. A memorable novel of growing up, making friends and finding a home. Ages: 9+
