‘I enjoyed this strange, inventive and moving tale’ DAVID ALMOND
An unforgettable story of friendship, hope and happiness from renowned Australian writer Zana Fraillon.
Are you ready? Are you listening? Something is about to begin.
When Ada arrives on the day of the Great Summer Storm, it is like the wind had picked her up and blown her in – walking stick and all – and dumped her right at the front gates of number 9 Hawkhurst Lane.
Unfortunately, Ada is not the kind of neighbour Hettie was hoping for. Cranky, impatient and a hater of cats, Ada has no intention of making friends.
But as the summer unfolds, Hettie and Ada discover they have more in common than they think. Could their unlikely friendship be the missing piece they never knew they needed?
