An engaging, honest story about one girl's struggle to hold her family together, from multi-award-winning Jacqueline Wilson.

Em adores her funny, glamorous dad - who cares if he's not her real father? He's wonderful to her, and to her little brother Maxie and sister Vita. True to form at Christmas, Dad gives them fantastic presents, including a real emerald ring for his little Princess Em.

Unfortunately he's got another surprise in store - he's leaving them. Will Dad's well-meaning but chaotic attempts to keep seeing Em and the other children help the family come to terms with this new crisis? Or would they be better off with a clean break - just like Em's arm?

Praise for Clean Break

A brilliant writer of wit and subtlety

The Times

Hugely popular with seven to ten year olds: she should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance

Independent on Sunday

Has a rare gift for writing lightly and amusingly about emotional issues

The Bookseller

Jacqueline Wilson tackles another delicate subject that is close to many children's hearts

The Bookseller

Clean Break sometimes causes sniffles, but in places it's also humorous and is a wonderful read for children aged eight and upwards. Jacqueline Wilson has written plenty of books . . . This is her best one yet
