Miracle Girl

"That first night wasn't easy. I thought we'd all be relieved to have mum back, and we were, but it wasn't the mum we remembered. She'd changed so much, not just to look at, but in the way she spoke, the way she moved, and inside her, what made her our mum." Rachel's cancer-stricken mother calls her Miracle Girl because so much rests on her young shoulders. But how do you keep calm at the centre of an emotional storm or in control of a world that's fast falling apart? This is Rachel's answer, with strength, compassion, humour and love. Suitable for ages 13 and over. For more information see www.hawkwoodbooks.co.uk
