Forever Rose

Rose is lonely, and sick of coming home each day to a dark, empty house. Saffy’s off with Sarah, Indigo has his paper round, Eve’s in quarantine in the shed, and who knows where Caddy is since she disappeared with Michael’s postcards! The only one around is David, and Rose would rather be alone than with him! She needs to find a way to make life feel like fun again. And a girl as fierce and brave as Rose WILL get what she wants… won’t she?

  • I love these books, Rose is defiantly my favourite character but they are all so loveable. If you stick with these books you won’t regret it.

  • Hilary Mckay also has a sequel called ‘The Exiles’. There are three books in the series, The Exiles, The Exiles in Love, and The Exiles at home. They are about four sister who have lots of adventures! I thoroughly recommend these books to anyone who has read any of the Casson Family Stories and enjoyed them! They are written in the third person.

    I adore this book! I love the days in Rose’s style. I have read all of the Casson family books, and they are brilliant. This is my 2nd favourite Hillary McKay book.
