A Sister Like You
By Sarah Hagger-Holt
Published by Usborne Publishing Ltd

Sarah Hagger-Holt writes to include us all. Her characters reflect real people, experiencing real life so her audience recognises themselves. Priceless!

Ella and Ari start at St Hilda's secondary school at the same time and they both feel alone. So after auditioning for the school choir, they become friends.
Two very different girls.
Two very different families.
Both adopted - who would have believed they had such a common bond.

But when they discover that they're actually sisters, their worlds are turned upside down and emotions run high.
Ari is excited!
Ella doesn't know how to respond!
And the differences between their families only adds to the tension.

Mixed in with teenage friendships, finding out who you are and the challenge of Grandma's sudden illness, the two girls and their families NEED to make this new relationship work, working through life together despite their differences.

A heartfelt story about teenage friendships, that celebrates families in all their make ups. This beautifully written story should be readily available in all our classrooms, for todays children to read, seeing themselves, knowing they matter.
