Lizzie's time in Year 6 is coming to an end. All her 'gorger' (non gypsy) friends are going on to secondary school but Lizzie's dad wants her to stay back at the Traveller site and mind the younger kids so her mum can earn money as a cleaner. Lizzie may not be much good at reading or writing but she is a really talented artist. Both her friend Tess and her art teacher are sure she could get into art college, given half a chance. But how will she find that chance? And how could she possibly get her dad to agree to such an outlandish plan? Focusing on one perspective from the series The Travellers, this book acts as a gateway to understanding the world of travelling (gypsy) communities through the eyes of one of four young teenagers. Giving interesting insights into the way travelling communities live and work, this book is perfect for any reader who wishes to know more about a different way of life.
