What is Fixing Mum and Dad about?

Quinn’s life is turned upside down when her dad leaves to work in a war zone and she, Mum and her little brother move in with Grandad. At her new school, Quinn finds friendship with Charlie, a football-loving bookworm, but home is harder. Mum and Dad argue over FaceTime, classmates make cruel comments and Mum’s growing closeness to Quinn’s football coach causes even more worry. As Quinn struggles with change, she must face her biggest fear: that her family may never be the same again.
