Form The Cellar of Treasures we have this 1975 paperback copy of Getting It All Together by Christine Dickenson, originally published under the title Siege at Robins Hill. Book is in good condition with some wear around edges and light creasing on front cover. Previous owner's name written inside front and back cover. Binding is tight and pages are clean and intact. Overall in good shape for a paperback book over 45 years old! Books are stored in my smoke-free home but I cannot guarantee where they were before they came to me. From back cover: GETTING IT ALL TOGETHER "The children, Jan -- look after the children. Keep them together..." Her mother's dying words are urgent. 16 year-old Jan wants very much to keep the family together, but she has problems. The welfare people say she's too young to be head of the house -- they think there should either be a responsible adult in charge or the children should be placed in foster homes. Jan thinks everything would be all right if they'd just leave her and the kids alone. And her boyfriend agrees with her -- but then Tony and his motorbike are two strikes against Jan as far as welfare is concerned. When it looks as if the family will be separated, Jan makes her big decision: They will barricade the house against the authorities. No one -- not even the police -- will be allowed in!
