Hilary McKay is one of those special authors whose books appeal to a wide age-range of readers from about eight to eighteen and beyond. Bookbag particularly recommends [[Forever Rose (Casson Family) by Hilary McKay|Forever Rose]], and [[The Exiles by Hilary McKay|The Exiles]], both of which look at families with wit, fondness and wisdom. And we have [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Hilary McKay|an interview]] with the author herself on the website, too.
