Last night Skye and Leanne had a sort of sleepover. And Skye's tattoo is still there. Stars Sydney Wade.

Last night Skye had a sort of sleepover, first time ever. With Leanne.

She can't invite anyone home from school because of Jak's drinking, and no one ever asks her to theirs, so this is the next best thing.

And the tattoo that Leanne did on her ankle is still there.

Amanda Whittington's heart-breakingly brave, funny and beautiful story exploring the issue of neglect.
