Thought-provoking contemporary fantasy from best-selling author Polly Ho-Yen.Mae spends a lot of time in hospitals. She's had asthma since she was little and sometimes she just can't breathe. She was in hospital the very first time she saw the hole - a tear in the universe which seems to appear only to her. Before she knows it she is drawn into a parallel world, where things aren't quite the same...This powerful fantasy story is full of big ideas and a great way to talk about chronic illness with children.My Other Life is part of the Bloomsbury Readers series and comes with reading notes written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), making it perfect to get children reading independently in Key Stage 2.
