About this listen

Em adores her funny, glamorous dad – who cares if he's not her real father? He's wonderful to her, and to her little brother Maxie and sister Vita. True to form at Christmas, Dad gives them fantastic presents, including a real emerald ring for his little Princess Em.

Unfortunately he's got another surprise in store – he's leaving them. Will Dad's well-meaning but chaotic attempts to keep seeing Em and the other children help the family come to terms with this new crisis? Or would they be better off with a clean break – just like Em's arm?

Critic reviews

'Jacqueline Wilson tackles another delicate subject that is close to many children's hearts.' (The Bookseller)
'Jacqueline Wilson comes up trumps with this wonderful novel.' (The Sunday Times)
'Surely every girl aged between seven and eleven will require a copy.' (Evening Standard)
'Clean Break sometimes causes sniffles, but in places it's also humorous and is a wonderful read for children aged eight and upwards. Jacqueline Wilson has written plenty of books ... This is her best one yet.' (Birmingham Evening Mail)
