My thanks to the good people at Harper Collins for sending the book.
[[Operation Eiffel Towe Tower by Elen Caldecott]] would be a good book to read next. It's a lovely kitchen sink drama in which four children must come to terms with a family break-up - beautifully observed with believable characters and nice dollop of quirkiness
