Reach for this book when your child is navigating a major life transition, struggling with a sense of belonging, or needs to see the power of sibling loyalty during times of uncertainty. Set in late 1980s London, the story follows eleven year old Ira and her younger brother Zac as they move from a children's home to a potential forever family. Through Ira's poignant and creative diary entries, the narrative explores the weight of the past and the cautious hope of the future. It is a gentle yet honest look at the foster care system that emphasizes resilience and the idea that home is built through love rather than just a physical space. While it deals with themes of loss and displacement, the overall tone is one of quiet optimism and the enduring strength of family bonds. This is an ideal choice for middle grade readers who appreciate introspective, character driven stories that normalize complex family structures.
