Forever Rose cover

Return to the world of Saffy's Angel with the fifth book in the laugh-out-loud Casson Family series.

Forever Rose is the fifth book in Hilary McKay's hilarious and award-winning Casson Family series.

It's tough being the youngest.

Rose comes home to a dark, quiet, empty house every day – her sisters and brother are always so busy. Indigo has his guitar lessons and paper round, Saffy is off with Sarah, and who knows where Caddy is since she disappeared with Michael's postcards.

School isn't any better. Exams are looming, and vindictive Mr Spencer has cancelled Christmas!

When will Rose get the happy ever after she has read about in books?

Follow the family's adventures in the rest of the beloved series: Saffy's Angel, Indigo's Star, Permanent Rose, Caddy Ever After and Caddy's World.
