*AUTHOR'S AWARD - BOOK OF THE YEAR*
The Household Child is a beautiful verse novel inspired by a true story. 'Revolutionary' says Benjamin Zephaniah, 'Beautifully artistic' notes the Guardian, 'Outstanding' describes Hannah Lowe.
In 1908, Eliza Sowell, a twelve-year-old who has just been orphaned, boards a ship that will take her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return or see her family again.
With nothing in her possession, the wild beauty of her surroundings is her only solace – until another 'Household Child', a boy, arrives at the farm and changes everything.
Inspired by the true story of Liz Berry's great-grandmother, this enchanting verse novel is an excellent portrait of a girl away from home.
'One of the outstanding books of the year. While this is a historical narrative, its resonance is timeless' says the Sunday Times. 'Deeply moving. An elegant, sensitive book, impressive in its emotional depth... I know I will return to it many times in the future' comments Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From.
