Additional text

'Provides excellent detail of children's relationships from a qualitative perspective.' - Professor Hill, Child and Society Centre, Glasgow University'Ultimately ... the value of the book lies in the richness of diversity suggested by the children themselves. Hopefully the authors are making these personal accounts of young lives accessible to a much wider audience ...' - Nicola Madge, Children & Society
