A tense, page-turning story that sensitively deals with themes of family upheaval and kleptomania, by the bestselling author of Ella on the Outside.
Ren’s family lose their home in a fire. They’re living with her grandmother now and things are a bit tense.
Ren lost her collection of things, her clothes; her brother lost his little bear and is inconsolable. So Ren starts replacing things with other people’s possessions. They’ve got loads of stuff, after all.
But she gets caught and has to strike a terrifying deal to avoid detection…

My life on fire is a great book about a girl called Ren whose house burns down. At first, she feels lucky to be alive, but then she just feels really sad and angry. How come everyone else has so much, yet she's lost everything? Maybe they deserve to lose things too...
