Man at the Helm by Nina Stibbe
5.0
Having read the third book in this series (and not realising till after) I knew I had to start from the beginning.
And Stibbe didn’t disappoint. It just proves that she can make a third book just as entertaining and plot driven as a first book!
This one sets around nine/ten/eleven year old Lizzie Vogel and her brother and sister who set out on a mission to find a man at the helm for their mother. Set in the 70s where having a father and husband was important for a family, Stibbe explores this by having villagers that shun the family and a race against time to find the man!
