Scrapper

Charlotte Regan

Living alone since her beloved mum died, 12-year-old Georgie fills the flat they shared with her own special magic. But when her absent father Jason turns up out of the blue, she’s forced to confront reality.

After her mother’s death, twelve-year-old Georgie lives alone in a suburb of London. She enjoys herself in her own world. She earns money by stealing bikes with her friend Ali and keeps social workers at bay by pretending she lives with her uncle, Winston Churchill.

This independent life comes to an end when Jason suddenly shows up, introducing himself as her father. Will Georgie let him in and face reality, or will she cling to her self-created world?
