Overview

Cora Lane gets tongue-tied, is often ignored and would rather hide in the library than step onto a stage. However, when her parents decide to renovate an old theatre in small-town Tasmania, Cora realises this is the perfect opportunity for her to reinvent her personality. Enter Cora 2.0, stage left. When Cora quickly slips back into her old ways and has once again made friends with the librarian rather than kids her own age, she feels lost. Frustrated she’s not the person she wants to be, she shares her deepest feelings with her imaginary pen pal. The last thing she’d expect is for her letters to go missing. And now, the real Cora Lane is about to go public, but is she ready?

It is a story about family, friendship, growing up, accepting change, and having the courage to accept yourself. * Lamont Books * Zanni works magic when she brings communities to life, and this is another fantastic novel and story from her that is relevant and timeless, that brings old and new together, and shows that there are many ways of being yourself, a powerful and authentic message that everyone needs to hear sometimes. This is a special book that celebrates the arts, and something we all need to have in our lives. -- Ashleigh Meikle
