One Each

What happens when the people who love you most decide to split you in two?

When Stevie and Josh’s parents split up, they made a decision that would change everything: one child each. Stevie stayed with Mum. Josh went with Dad. And just like that, brother and sister were torn apart.

Now, five years later, Josh and his dad have moved back to their old house – and suddenly the brother and sister who barely know each are living just streets apart. But being close doesn't mean being together. Can two siblings who've grown into strangers find their way back to each other?

Warm, funny, quietly devastating and ultimately joyful, One Each is a powerful and uplifting story about family, belonging, and the bonds that survive even the longest separations, from the author of highly-acclaimed and award-winning novels including Ella on the Outside and Not My Fault – perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and The Boy at the Back of the Class.
