I read this book many times many years ago. I read the book at school as part of a project and even wrote to Robert Swindells and he wrote back suggesting another book I should read. This book touched something in me and made me look at my family, especially my little brother and how I was treating them at the time, being a 14 year old little madam and what I would do if something did happen to any of them. The book brought me to tears and I still to this day (being 25) think it is one of the best books I have ever read. I've even been on Ebay this year to buy another copy after reading the other reviews. If you have never read this book before I highly recommend it, it has stayed in my mind for over ten years and there are not many books I can say that about.
