Poppy's dad is never around and appears to be drifting further and further away. And when it seems like things can't get any worse, Poppy becomes the target of the spiteful school bullies. As the vicious online comments and humiliating pranks escalate, with even her friends joining in, it looks like Poppy has no one left to turn to. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 12+
My Review: I found this one in my local library and I had to read it as it just jumped out to me.
Poppy’s mum and dad have split up and her mum’s new partner and his daughter are moving in and she’s not happy.
Poppy’s mums boyfriend tries to get along with Poppy but she doesn’t want to get to know him and keeps pushing him away and asks her dad if she can go and stay with him, unfortunately her dad doesn’t show up when he was meant to and Poppy’s family get worried when they find a note saying she wasn’t coming home.
I found that I related to Poppy’s story somewhat as my parents broke up at the same age as Poppy and my mum moved her partner in, the only difference is I saw my dad all the time and we were super close and I still don’t get along with my mums partner and it’s been 19ish years.
