Product description

Aubrey is all on her own, living on TV, crackers and cheese, with only a pet goldfish for company. And when Gram turns up on the doorstep, worried that nobody’s answering the phone, she realises that something terrible has happened: Aubrey has been abandoned by her mother. But where are Aubrey’s father and sister? Another tragedy has befallen them – something Aubrey can’t even bring herself to think about. Taken to Vermont to live with Gram, Aubrey starts a new life. With the love of her grandmother and the letters she writes, can Aubrey begin to see that even though she’s lost everything, all is not lost? A tear-jerking story of tragedy and recovery which is sure to be one of this year’s must-reads.

    I just finished this book, It was so amazing and heart-felt! Aubrey made me cry, smile and laugh, she has a pet fish called sammy !! She went through school on her sisters birthday, made 2 really nice friends and built up her life again with the help of her Gram. You MUST read this if you want a book to really get into, crying and happiness is caught from this book hope you read it =] xx

    Love, Aubrey is a heart-felt, sweet and serious book about a girl (Aubrey) who thinks she has no hope left in the world. Her Mum’s just disappeared and her Dad and sister Savannah – well, I won’t give that away! She’s determined, though, to take care of herself. But when her loving Grandmother appears with a helping hand, Aubrey learns that although she’s lost everything, all is not lost…I loved this book, I especially reccommend it to someone aged 9-14…I felt I could really connect with Aubrey’s feelings. It’s heart-breaking and had tears freely running down my face. It makes you really realise that these things do happen occasionally. You should be grateful for what you have in terms of family…:)

    Aubrey makes us grateful for what we have. Suzanne La Fleur creates an emotional atmosphere and gives us the courage we need. It has a brilliant storyline and the character fits beautifully into it.

    This is a brilliant book! I love Aubrey’s character and personality. Her situation is so sad that it brings tears to my eyes when I read it, and I don’t usually get emotional!
