The Suitcase Kid
by Jacqueline Wilson
Andy spends one week at her mother's and one at her father's since the divorce, and tells the whole thing to a small toy rabbit called Radish.
A story about children and families, moving and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
