_WINNER OF THE WRITERS' PRIZE - BOOK OF THE YEAR_
Inspired by a true story, The Home Child is a beautiful novel-in-verse about a child far from home
'Ground-breaking' Benjamin Zephaniah
'Beautifully crafted' Guardian
'Extraordinary' Hannah Lowe
In 1908, Eliza Showell, twelve years old and newly orphaned, boards a ship that will carry her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return or see her family again.
With nothing to call her own, the wild beauty of her surroundings is the only solace Eliza has - until another Home Child, a boy, arrives at the farm and changes everything.
Inspired by the true story of Liz Berry's great aunt, this spellbinding novel in verse is an exquisite portrait of a girl far from home.
