by Catherine Bruton
Elfie, Jimmy and Agnes enter a local talent contest in Liverpool - Elfie and Agnes do the singing while Jimmy looks after Elfie's baby brother, Alfie. However, each of their parents know nothing of this - they all play a different part in the local union strike. The talent contest causes rifts in families and friendships, torn communities but ultimately a truly bonding experience.
Catherine's first book was We Can Be Heroes, which is definitely my favourite of the two.
