Broken Soup by Jenny Valentine

Another story of two sisters with a Mum who needs help, a bit like the Illustrated Mum. However, this tale is aimed at slightly older children, I think, and is a more complex and, for me, enjoyable story. Broken soup ... what happens when you drop breakfast in bed and the orange juice goes everywhere. Or when your life begins to unravel. Highly recommended.

The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson

After the teen books I have been reading, this book definitely seems aimed at younger readers, perhaps the top end of primary, or Year 7. Dolphin and her big sister, Star, look after their mum more than she looks after them. Nicely told, it deals well with mental health issues for the younger audience.
