Joanne –
Engrossing story, told from two viewpoints, Ren and Caspar.
After losing all her possessions in a house fire, Ren and her little brother have to move in with a seemingly unsympathetic grandmother, while her parents, stressed and distracted trying to sort things out, live in a caravan in the driveway.Soon Ren feels an urge to replace things she has lost by taking small items from other people at school. Caspar, a very enthusiastic classmate, becomes her friend and when he finds out what is happening, helps her to put things right. Strong themes of friendship, and a great description of why Ren feels she must take things to try to feel better in a terrible situation.
