Dandelion Clocks by Rebecca Westcott

 

Dandelion Clocks is an emotional book about a thirteen-year-old girl who takes us from THIRTEEN WEEKS BEFORE her mother passed from cancer until SIX WEEKS AFTER. This book will be perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Cathy Cassidy and Annabel Pitcher, author of My sister lives on the mantelpiece. 

Liv is a young girl and is just caring for her brother Isaac when her mother starts teaching her all sorts of life lessons, like how to apply cosmetics and How to make spaghetti bolognese. Liv ponders why her mom is suddenly teaching and telling her all of these things - she's even been exposed to her mom's diaries which are quite helpful actually - when something SHOCKING comes out. 

Her mom's only got a bit left.

Then she dies and it's all over. 


This book is perfect for any child who has had a beloved one die and I would definitely recommend it. An emotional rollercoaster by Rebecca Westcott. Let me know if you enjoyed the book in the comments! Thanks, Emmi x
