Living with Leanne

by Margaret Clark

Sam Studley's a bit older and wiser than when you met him in 'Hold My Hand - Or Else!' but it's a pity he can't say the same for his fifteen year old sister Leanne. No one seems to know where she is. Some kids are saying she's got AIDS and some are saying she's been abducted. Some are saying she's on the run to Kings Cross, some are saying she's a speed freak and gone into a drug rehab centre, and some that she's hiding out at home with chickenpox. But if Living With Leanne sounds full on, you should hear about living without her!

Reviews

[Charlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

An Aussie classic! I adored this series, and Margaret Clark’s collection. She is so on-point with addressing the needs of young children transitioning into teenage years. I found this book in an isle at my primary school library and enjoyed it because it was entirely relatable. I’ve since returned to this library looking for this book (as I couldn’t find it on the Internet) and saw it was gone. I wonder what happened to all her copies?
