(4) 4-6 Five years after his older sister is killed in a London terrorist bombing, ten-year-old Jamie's dad moves the broken family to the countryside (without Mum). Jamie has to cope with bullying, his depressed father's racism, keeping his Muslim friend Sunya a secret from Dad, and finally, the death of his cat. Though crowded with emotional issues, the narrative is topical and freshly written.
