A novel by

 
 
Jesika is four and a half. She lives in a flat with her mother and baby brother and she knows a lot. She knows their flat is high up and the stairs are smelly. She knows she should not draw on the wall where the wallpaper is peeling or touch the broken window. And she knows she loves her mummy and Toby. She does not know that their landlord is threatening to evict them and that Toby's cough is going to get much worse. Or that Lauren, her new best friend, has a secret that will explode their world.

Praise for this book

"A brave, important, heart-breaking book." - Emma Flint

"Amanda Berriman's Home kept me up late for all the right reasons. It's a tender portrait of a family in crisis that nevertheless grips like a thriller, a chronicle of extraordinary events that never slides into sensationalism. I loved Jesika - the girl through whose eyes the story is told - and her mother, who in remarkable times also faces the unremarkable challenges of motherhood we can all identify with." - Shelley Harris

"Heart-stopping. A need-to-read novel." - Kit de Waal
