My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece

Ten-year-old Jamie hasnt cried since it happened. He knows he should have - Jasmine cried, Mum cried, Dad still cries. Roger didnt, but then he is just a cat and didnt know Rose that well, really.Everyone kept saying it would get better with time, but thats just one of those lies that grown-ups tell in awkward situations. Five years on, its worse than ever: Dad drinks, Mums gone and Jamies left with questions that he must answer for himself.This is his story, an unflinchingly real yet heart-warming account of a young boys struggle to make sense of the loss that tore his family apart.
