Vicky by Catherine Storr

I consider Catherine Storr to be an underrated children's writer. I read her book The Chinese Egg twice. It was an imaginative adventurous book with likable characters. Then I learned it had a sequel which was very out of print. I tracked it down for a reasonable price. Then I read it and was let down. It was about Vicky finding her biological mother and father. Not much happens in the book. There's no adventure involved in the search either. The characters Stephen and Chris were barely in the book. Then there was a hint of an inappropriate romance that pretty much destroyed the book for me. I suggest you read Marianne Dreams or The Chinese Egg again instead.
