Changes

I was amazed by Vicky Angel, it blew me away - I suppose I expected something good after the awards and the rave reviews, but I really wasn't expecting anything this good. I don't believe in hiding sadness, or anything else for that matter, from children, however hard it is. I don't think Jacqueline Wilson does either and I'll be sure to be reading more of her.

A more poetic book that asks young children to accept death is [[The Crowstarver]] by Dick King Smith.
