WINNER OF THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG YA AWARD
_______________

I am not who I say I am.
Marla isn't who she thinks she is.
I am a girl trying to forget.
Marla is a woman trying to remember.

When Allison runs away from home, she doesn’t expect to be taken in by Marla, an elderly woman with dementia, who mistakes her for an old friend called Toffee. Allison is used to hiding who she really is and trying to be what other people want her to be. And so Toffee is who she becomes.

But as her bond with Marla grows, Allison begins to ask herself: Where is home? What is a family? And, most importantly, Who am I, really?

Daily Mail
Winner of the Honour Award for Fiction in the KPMG Ireland Children’s Books Awards 2020, Toffee is lyrical and compelling, with Crossan’s style beautifully balancing trauma and frustration, with heart-warming moments and glimpses of humour
Paper Lanterns
This is a tense read, as two vulnerable characters struggle to maintain their autonomy in a precarious world. There are no happy endings, but the reader feels that Allison/Toffee’s commitment to education will be her salvation
CBI Mind Yourself 2020 Reading Guide
I would read one page of this and find myself needing to turn to the next because this book was so good. The chapters were short and it left me wanting more ... Intense and also kind of moving
