Dandelion Clocks

Helps you discover Liv's passion for photography, her brother's obsession with sticking to the rules, the stupidity of Moronic Louise at school, and how the family copes as Mum's terminal illness takes hold...

A strong, sensitive debut - powerful and beautifully written.

A brilliantly told, ultra-modern story about a significant six months in eleven year old Olivia's life - it should be sold with a large box of tissues!

The perfect tear-jerker

The big emotions at the heart of this story will grab readers' attention and guide them through a painful and heart-warming story.

A very moving book

Original, emotional, and deeply, deeply sensitive Westcott has crafted a novel that stays with the reader for all the right reasons.

An outstanding debut novel

If any young teen out there has read The Fault in our Stars then this is definitely a book for you!

The author writes with assurance and insight . . . If this is an example of the calibre of her writing, we may look forward to many more excellent books from her.

Rebecca Westcott was born in Chester. She went to Exeter University to train as a teacher and has had a variety of teaching jobs that have taken her to some very interesting places, including a Category C male prison. She started writing a diary when she was eight years old, although she had no idea that one day her entries would be used to help her write a book. Rebecca currently teaches in a primary school and lives in Dorset with her husband and three children. Dandelion Clocks is her first book.
