My Name is Rose
Author(s): Sally Grindley
Another title by award-winning novelist Sally Grindley that deals with social issues around the world - this time in Romania and the UK.
Rose is a young Romany gypsy girl who travels around Romania and Europe in a caravan with her family. Playing music - on their own or with extended family and friends - her life is happy, until Rose suddenly finds herself an orphan after a dreadful car accident. This is the beginning of many changes for Rose as she is forced to adapt to another country and a new family, and she realises that she's not sure of her identity.
This is a powerful novel of loss and growing up by an author who is well known for her extraordinary portrayals of children overcoming adversity in different parts of the world.
