My Dad’s a Policeman

by Cathy Glass

Published by : HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd

The story is about a boy called Ryan from a very disturbed background. He lives with his brother and alcoholic mum and a false memory of his dad, in his mind a policeman. Even though various bad incidents happen to the boys, Ryan loves his Mum dearly and wants to care for her. However, the boys get taken into care. Ryan runs away and plots to get his brother out of care and to go back to mum. The story is about the journey they took and how they get through it all. He does everything to be able to keep the family together and with all that that entails.

This is a very sad story with a lovely ending. Well worth reading!
