Description

Poppy feels like her life is falling to pieces in this coming-of-age novella of blended families and online bullying from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth.

Poppy’s having a nightmare at home. Her parents have split up and her mum’s new boyfriend is moving in. Dad is the one who’s always been there for Poppy, but now he’s drifting further and further away. It seems like things can’t get any worse until it all goes wrong at school as well and Poppy finds herself being targeted by spiteful bullies. As the vicious online comments keep coming, who can Poppy turn to for help?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 8.
