Synopsis

Em adores her funny, glamorous dad - who cares if he's not her real father? He's wonderful to her, and to her little brother and sister. True to form at Christmas, Dad gives them fantastic presents, including a real emerald ring for his little Princess Em. Unfortunately he's got another surprise in store - he's leaving them. Will Dad's well-meaning but chaotic attempts to keep seeing Em and the other children help the family come to terms with this new crisis? Or would they be better off with a Clean Break - just like Em's arm?

"Clean Break sometimes causes sniffles, but in places it's also humorous and is a wonderful read for children aged eight and upwards. Jacqueline WIlson has written plenty of books...this is her best one yet." - Birmingham Evening Mail

"I have just finished one of the best books in the world called Clean Break by Jacqueline Wilson. It's all about Em's dad having an affair and leaving them on Christmas Day. It's such a good book. It's got a good storyline. I saw the front and thought 'Oh, that looks like a good book,' so I picked it up, read the blurb and that was it, I loved it. I love reading and Jacqueline Wilson is definitely my favourite author. She is absolutely amazing." - Teen Titles
