Description

My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece, is based around the time of five years ago, when Jamie’s sister, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. And as an act of grief, the family were torn apart.

His mum ran away,

His dad turns to drink and hate,

And rose’s surviving twin sister, Jasmine. Stops eating, gets piercings all over her body and dyes her hair pink. To cover any resemblance she had with her twin.

But Jamie hasn’t cried once…

To him, Rose is now just a distant memory.

He is far more interested in his cat, Roger, his Spiderman T-shirt and his deep desire and unshakeable belief that maybe one day, his mum will return home. To the family, she walked away from months ago.

But Jamie moves away…

For a fresh start, which introduces him to something highly interesting, a girl named Sunya. A girl who is bright, exciting and fun-loving. She is the one person at school that he can truly call a friend. But how far can this friendship grow, before he has to desperately restrict his dad from finding out?
