OverviewThree teenage girls from very different backgrounds find themselves sharing a hospital ward. When they witness a crime in the park below their window, they bond over trying to solve the crime and each one undergoes a profound change. A beautiful coming-of-age story about identity, expectation, class, justice, society, fairness, and, above all, kindness. 'Fresh insights into friendship and family are spun through tangents into chance and randomness ... and music and its power to trigger memory and give a rhythm and pace to life. Injured Evie, in particular, learns how to grow and walk away stronger.' - Weekend Australian 'Such a richly delicious read and I wanted it never to end ... I am a true fan' Naomi Shihab Nye Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jane GodwinPublisher: Hachette Australia Imprint: Lothian Children's Books Edition: Digital original Dimensions: Width: 12.70cm , Height: 2.10cm , Length: 19.60cm Weight: 0.260kg ISBN: 9780734419231ISBN 10: 0734419236 Pages: 288 Publication Date: 23 July 2019 Recommended Age: From 12 to 14 years Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
