About this eBook

'I know Mum will be heartbroken if I don't go with her, but I'm the only family Dad's got. What am I to do?'

Floss's parents are divorced, and they've got a simple routine - Floss spends five days a week with her mum, her new stepdad and her baby half-brother. The other two days Floss spends with her dad, helping him to run his greasy spoon cafe.

But this arrangement is thrown into disarray when Floss's mum decides to move to Australia.

Floss makes the difficult decision to stay at home, moving in permanently with her dad. They muddle along happily together, surviving on chip butties and enjoying visits to the local funfair.

Then disaster strikes - Dad's money troubles catch up with him and they have to move out of the cafe. They're homeless - but can their new fairground friends help out?

Good book, ends a bit wonky though, I still have a LOAD of questions. Its about a girl called Floss ( well thats just her nickname) and she's told she needs to move to Sydney in Australia 🇦🇺. She wants to make sure her dad is ok, since they are split up, and wants to know that Rhiannon will stay her Best Friend and not go off with someone else. Floss has a lot to think about, and a choice she needs to consider..

This is an average book about a mum and a dad and a child a they get into a dilemma, its the same as all the Jacqueline Wilson story's and the only reason its ABOVE average is cause I really liked the beginning, the rest was completely AVERAGE, if Jacqueline Wilson writes about her young life or based on all the books I feel SO SORRY for her.😃
