The Suitcase Kid
by Jacqueline Wilson (Yearling)

I know I’ve already championed one of her titles, but Jacqueline is the queen when it comes to issues, and this one deals brilliantly with the fallout from divorce and the realities of joint custody. It follows Andrea and her stuffed rabbit Radish as she negotiates two bedrooms, the loss of old friends and the arrival of new step-parents and step-siblings.
