Erin's Special Christmas Tree' is a story that I wrote for my daughter when she was seven. Erin, like the character in the book, saw the best in people since she was old enough to comfort other children at nursery school. She gave away her last sweet if she saw someone else going without and had a profound sense of right and wrong. Christmas in the Wilkinson home is much more than presents and Erin and I begin planning the next one as soon as the last one finishes. The bell will always ring for us at Christmas time, we hope you hear it too.

It is 1940 and when the bombs begin to fall, the residents of Cedar Street take cover as best they can. Most of the children welcome the opportunities that the air raids offer and eagerly gather at a nearby bombsite to explore their new playground. However, when tragedy is narrowly averted, their hopes are dashed and plans turned upside down. Their lives will never be the same again. Sue Wilkinson's debut novel is an emotional journey through the landscape of a Northern wartime childhood. Scarcities, bombing raids and evacuation are all set against the backdrop of growing up and the changing fabric of family life.

But while she's busy trying to fit in - with Chloe, with Alexis and her Pastel friends, even with the misfits in the stage crew - Ava fails to notice that her shiny reinvented life is far more fragile than she imagined.
