«Broken Soup» is the young adult novel by Jenny Valentine, published by HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Rowan, who looks after her little sister almost on her own, receives a photographic negative from a stranger and then, with the help of her classmate Bee, develops it: the image shows her deceased brother, Jack. That discovery leads her to investigate what Jack was hiding and to reinterpret her own past and her grief.
Originally published in 2008, it won the North East Teenage Book Award and was nominated for the Manchester Book Award.
Aimed at young readers aged 11 to 16, especially fans of mystery, family drama and stories of grief.
