The Suitcase Kid by Jacqueline Wilson
The book centers on a young girl named Andrea, known as Andy, who is struggling to cope with her parents' divorce. She is shuffled between her mother's new family in a cramped, unwelcoming house and her father's life with his new girlfriend, feeling out of place and longing for the past. Andy clings to a small suitcase filled with memories of her former life and her beloved doll, Radish, as she dreams of reuniting her parents and returning to Mulberry Cottage, the only place she ever felt truly at home. Throughout the story, Andy grapples with the complexities of a divided family, the challenges of adapting to new environments, and the journey towards finding a sense of belonging amidst the turmoil of change.
