Here is a new middle-grade novel for fans of Binks’
bestselling The Year the Maps Changed and for anyone who enjoys a big, hopeful,
coming-of-age book that features complicated families and life-changing
summers.
Alytashi and Leopold – Tash and Leo – are neighbours
who used to be best friends, but aren’t anymore, for reasons that Leo doesn’t
entirely understand. But now it’s the last week of Year Six and Tash is standing
in Leo’s front yards with a misdelivered letter – and a favour to ask.
It’s a request that will set off a chain of events in
their little crescent in Noble Park, a suburb that is changing, and fast.
As they solve an unfolding neighbourhood mystery and
help Ms Shepparson, a reclusive neighbour with a tragic past, Tash and Leo each
must confront fault lines in their own recent histories and families. They will
discover that relationships can grow and change, that bravery takes many forms,
and that, most of all – whatever the future holds – friends and family are what
matter.
