Synopsis
The Times Book of the Week
“My Life on Fire is one of those rare things: an engaging children’s book that features precisely zero dragons, unicorns or orphans on a magical quest… for fans of Jacqueline Wilson or Judy Blume, the latest novel by Cath Howe has a quiet charm.” - The Times, Lucy Bannerman
A tense, page-turning story that sensitively deals with themes of family upheaval and kleptomania, by the bestselling author of Ella on the Outside.
Ren's family lose their home in a fire. They're living with her grandmother now and things are a bit tense.
Ren lost her collection of things, her clothes; her brother lost his little bear and is inconsolable. So Ren starts replacing things with other people's possessions. They've got loads of stuff, after all.
But she gets caught and has to strike a terrifying deal to avoid detection...
