The suitcase kid is all about a 10 year old girl called Andrea, who is very sad because her parents split up.
Both her parents want her to stay with them. She cooperates a lot but they keep fighting. Finally they go to the family counsellor for help and advice. They then decide that Andrea would stay at her mother's place for one week and at her father's for the next week and so on.
NOW!! Now begins the fun!!
Both her parents have their own partners and their own children. Andrea calls her mother's new husband 'The Big Hairy Baboon '. They has 3 children who are Paula, Ghrahm and the naughtiest and most annoying KATIE!. Her father's new wife Carrie has 2 children who are Crystal and Zen. They also get a new baby in the end who is called Zoe ( Zoey ).
Andrea gets in a lot of fights with kids, especially with Katie and gets badly scolded. All the scolding is made worse by Katie's snickers and smirks.
Over a period of time Andrea starts to get along with everybody.
Its an emotional book with a touch of humour. I hope this never happens, but if at all you meet someone going through parents split up then do suggest this book. It would be helpful.

Very well written Tushita! Not only have you given a glimpse of the book, but also used some very good langauge. May be next time you can try to evaluate the book using some criterion.Keep up the great work!
