Love, Aubrey Award-winning by Suzanne LaFleur (author) (UK edition)

Aubrey is all on her own, living on TV, crackers and cheese, with only a pet goldfish for company. And when Gram turns up on the doorstep, worried that nobody’s answering the phone, she realises that something terrible has happened: Aubrey has been abandoned by her mother. But where are Aubrey’s father and sister? Another tragedy has befallen them – something Aubrey can’t even bring herself to think about. Taken to Vermont to live with Gram, Aubrey starts a new life. With the love of her grandmother and the letters she writes, can Aubrey begin to see that even though she’s lost everything, all is not lost? A tear-jerking story of tragedy and recovery which is sure to be one of this year’s must-reads.
