Dandelion Clocks

Dandelion Clocks by Rebecca Westcott will be loved by fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy or Annabel Pitcher.

Liv takes us on a journey through her life from "Thirteen Weeks Before" to "Six Months After". We discover Liv's passion for photography, her brother's obsession with sticking to the rules, the stupidity of Moronic Louise at school, and how the family copes as Mum's terminal illness takes hold . . . Guided by Mum's own childhood diaries, Liv finds a new way to live.

This book is real, funny, utterly touching and absolutely heartwarming. Despite the sadness at the heart of the story, every reader will laugh and keep on turning the pages, charmed by Liv and her mum.

Reviews

A skilled debut. Book of the week.

—— Nicolette Jones , Sunday Times

An alluring story that pushes beyond the realm of star-crossed romance.

—— Publishers Weekly

As satisfying as both of these books are, readers are going to wish for a third.

—— Booklist

The most hotly anticipated children's book of the year is here - Diary of a Wimpy Kid

—— The Big Issue

Delightfully simple but visually impish

—— Literary Review

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

—— Independent on Sunday

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown

—— The Scotsman

A celebration of all things "dad" from the quirky to the moving

—— Aberdeen Evening Express

It's humorous and charming. Dads and kids alike will love it

—— Woman’s Own
