This marvellous book - allegorical, sensitive, literary - tells of conformist Cassy, brought up by her Nan, sent to live with her childlike mother, Goldie, who is living in a squat with a theatre company - Lyall and his son Robert. Cassy has to confront not only her mother's irresponsibility, but also her own inflexible attitude to relationships and the identity of her terrorist father. The Wolf Theatre Show is an analogy of those things which we cannot or will not face and it liberates Cassy into action and away from self-doubt. A compelling title which would make an excellent class reader for Year 9.
