Book Description

When you've destroyed the life you once had, can you ever return?

Product Description

Twelve-year-old Parisian boy Louis Whittaker has a lot on his plate - his parents are locked in a custody battle over him and his brother and sister, Mum's always working late and Dad's rarely allowed to visit them. Louis finds release in his dance classes and discovers he has a real talent for ballet. But suddenly, Dad whisks them away on a surprise holiday to England, right in the middle of the school term. Something isn't right - Dad is acting strangely again: could it be he has not fully recovered from his mental breakdown? The rented farmhouse in the Lake District is nice, but why is Dad furnishing it and why won't he let them call home? Then Louis comes across a poster - a missing person's poster. And it has his face on it.

Format:Paperback
Divorce is never an easy event for children, particularly not those of dual nationality.

Without Looking Back, told from is Louis' perspective. The mixed emotions over which parent he'd prefer to live with, living with a large secret day in, day out are dealt with well over the story. It is broken up with light, amusing moments that happen with most siblings.

It doesn't end as I'd expected, but I was happy with the ending. I would have liked to have seen more regarding the search for the children, and perhaps more desperation in their father's actions. At two points the father's character seemed a little odd;he uses the words darling and love, which seem very strange coming from a man. I've normally experienced them from a female point of view.

Other than these points, Without Looking Back is a good exploration into what happens when a parent abducts their own children during a custody battle.

Children whose parents have separated and are in the middle of a dispute for custody.
A far too common cliche nowadays.
The heart broken children, who are pushed into making a decision ,as to which parent to favour.
In her book, the writer choses a young boy to convey all these negative feelings, in the hope it will help other children in the same situation to identify with him, and may be make them feel they are not a failure or responsible for their parents's break up.
I recommend it to anybody, not just children, as it might encourage adults to think deeper about the situation if they split up.

An enjoyable read 6 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I really liked 'A Note of Madness' so I thought I'd try this. At first I was pretty disappointed that it seemed to be for younger kids, but the story soon draws you in and keeps you reading. I don't usually like books with lead characters who are male as I prefer reading about girls and female thoughts and emotions, but Louis is an interesting person and you start to care about him a lot as you follow him through the story. I enjoyed this novel a lot more than i thought I would.
