RockDesk Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm looking for the name of a book I use to read when I was younger. I think I read it in the late 80s early 90s. I think it was called Going Home or Coming Home. It was about a girl from England who went to France on a barge holiday with her family and her stepfather but she didn't like it so she ran away and tried to go home. The story was basically about her trying to get home, but was written, obviously, very 'child-friendly'. Any help would be appreciated as Google has not been my friend with this one! Thanks very much Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 It's Going Home by K M Peyton (who wrote the Flambards books). No info on Amazon, but there are some second-hand copies available - there's a picture of one cover version here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDesk Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks so much for your answer! That is it. It's funny though because the age I read it, I don't remember knowing that the mother was depressed. I have it in my head that she went away with her mother and step father! Innocent childs mind eh! Also, thanks a mil for the link, I think I'll have to get it to read!! Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 No problems. I searched in Amazon in 'children's books' and there weren't many results. I clicked this one because I loved the Flambards series and bingo! I hope you enjoy it if you do re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
