Holly Hogan is a 14 year old girl living in foster care. After being adopted by a middle class family her favourite social worker leaves her for a better job. Although she is happy with her new family she still feels incomplete, so she sets out on a life changing trip to find her mother, whom she hasn’t seen since she was a child. On this trip she doesn’t travel as her boring old self she puts on her foster mothers blond wig and suddenly she is solace, her smart, brave and slightly terrifying alter ego.
I think people should read this book because it is filled with suspense, tragedy and humour. The characters are compelling and will have you both cheering them on and shedding a tear for them at the same time.
