Clean Break by Jacqueline Wilson


Find this book at your library

Genre - Family


If you haven’t read anything by this author, it’s well and truly time you do. She’s among my top three young adult writers (I can’t pick which order), but she is hands-down the best author in the junior fiction section of my library. Ms Wilson is a prize-winning favourite and readers’ choice for very good reasons. There are characters that everyone can relate to, and the characters have dimensions: some you like, some you don’t, and others that have you changing your mind throughout.

The premise of this novel is universal and utterly believable: a father walks out on a family. And the novel’s turning point sees our narrator meeting her favourite author (Jenna Williams, for whom even her illustration seems based on Jacqueline Wilson herself). See what are you waiting for?
