A brilliantly evocative portrait of modern life featuring an engaging heroine, Floss, from the mega bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.
Floss's parents are divorced, and she divides up her week, spending five days with her mum, her new stepdad and her baby half-brother.
Making the difficult decision to stay at home, Floss moves in permanently with her dad and they muddle along happily together, surviving on chip butties and enjoying visits to the local funfair.
'I know Mum will be heartbroken if I don't go with her, but I'm the only family Dad's got. What am I to do?'
Floss's parents are divorced, and they've got a simple routine - Floss spends five days a week with her mum, her new stepdad and her baby half-brother. The other two days Floss spends with her dad, helping him to run his greasy spoon cafe.
But this arrangement is thrown into disarray when Floss's mum decides to move to Australia.
Floss makes the difficult decision to stay at home, moving in permanently with her dad. They muddle along happily together, surviving on chip butties and enjoying visits to the local funfair.
Then disaster strikes - Dad's money troubles catch up with him and they have to move out of the cafe. They're homeless - but can their new fairground friends help out?
