Dixie is the youngest of the Diamond family. She and her sisters, dreamy Martine, glamorous Rochelle and tough Jude, could hardly be more different from each other but their Mum`s tried to teach them the value of sticking together. Now Mum`s expecting yet another baby and she`s convinced this one`s a boy. Time to move to a bigger place, she insists, and the girls scarcely have time to protest before they find themselves at their new house. It`s rough, dilapidated and filthy and before they`ve even unpacked the furniture, Mum goes into labour! By the time Mum comes home with the new baby, Jude`s been in a fight, Rochelle`s found a new boyfriend and Martine`s stormed off. Only Dixie stays loyally by Mum`s side - so only Dixie spots her secret - Another slice of realistic contemporary life, from the UK`s most popular children`s author.
