The Truth About Riley

Life can change in an instant ...

When Riley's dad dies suddenly, leaving behind a mountain of debt, the life she's used to starts to crumble around her.

Suddenly finding herself homeless, Riley tries to keep up appearances at school, hiding the truth from her lovely but clueless friend Sophie, and spiteful, suspicious Vanessa.

But as strangers step up to help her and her mum, Riley realises that sometimes it is those you least expect who will change your life for the better ...

'Sensitive and gripping ... kids will love this book and be rooting for Riley from the very first page' Marita Conlon-McKenna
