Cliffhanger (Biscuit Barrel, 2)

Product Information

In Waiting For the Sky to Fall, Katherine is her father's favourite, but this has the negative effect of causing him to put her under intense pressure to do well in her exams. Treasure's grandmother in Secrets has six children, with the oldest at least in her late twenties and the youngest seven years old and younger than her own niece. Gemma and Alice in Best Friends, although they're around 10 years old and thus would be a very mild version of the trope. In "The Suitcase Kid", Andy reflects that her stepfather Bill treats ten-year-old Katie like an angel and acts like she can do no wrong when she's actually incredbly mean (Andy is the only one who gets in trouble when she and Katie fight).

In My Sister Jodie, Pearl's mother has another baby at the end of the book ( after Jodie's death), who would be 10 years younger than Pearl and 14 years younger than Jodie. Ho Yay: Many protagonists in Wilson's books, especially female ones, tend to have a big adoration for at least one other female character, and quite a few times it's the friendship between these two that drives the story - Best Friends has Gemma and Alice, Tracy Beaker has Tracy and Louise, Cookie has Beauty and Rhona, the list goes on. Not Blood Siblings - Jem and Hetty in Hetty Feather were foster siblings, although Jem ends up marrying someone else. Ella's behaviour throughout the book is consistent with her age being the reason for many of her flawed actions. She also feels under pressure to act like this trope in case he gets angry with her for not showing enough affection.Love Father, Love Son - the title character in Amber has a short relationship with her mother's ex-boyfriend, who believes Amber is pregnant (though he's not the father), and wants to marry her and raise the baby together.

Broken Bird: Ho boy, the majority of protagonists in Wilson's books are young girls going through some absolutely horrific things that no child should ever have to go through, but unfortunately many do in the UK and worldwide.Family Relationship Switcheroo - In The Power of the Shade, May's "great-aunt" turns out to be her grandmother, who had an affair with her sister's husband. Vicky Angel is much more explicit about this, as Jade consistently fawns over Vicky even when she's dead and talks about her the way someone would talk about their soul mate. Book Ends - Queenie begins with Elsie planning to go to the coronation of Elizabeth II with her grandmother; and ends sixty years later when Elsie expresses the hope that she'll live long enough to take her own granddaughter to Prince Charles's coronation. Alice's mother in Best Friends is incredibly insensitive towards how much the move is distressing her Alice and Gemma, who have been best friends since birth. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather.

This is the catalyst that prompts him to hit her for the first time and for Nikki to run away with the kids. Hippie Parents: In Amber, Amber was raised in a commune by her hippie mother and is still there even though the '60s are long over.

In one scene, India imagines being jailed for hiding Treasure in her attic and then Stepparents that try not to force titles on their steppchildren generally get along better with them. Alliterative Name: Stella Stebbings, Dixie Diamond, Mab Macclesfield, Rebecca "Becks" Robinson, Rose Rivers. Destiny's mother Kate in Little Darlings had (or so she claims) a short but happy relationship with rock star Danny Kilman.
