<\/u> \u2018I feel her in the breeze that makes the dahlias bob, and in the scent of the roses …\u2019 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After moving to the city from the country, Willow Bright feels like she\u2019s lost her mum all over again\u2015and landed on another planet. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her clothes are wrong, her taste in music is wrong, and even the food she eats is wrong. But when Willow spots a pattern in a series of puzzling accidents and mishaps, she forms an unlikely friendship\u2015and finds new purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

Can Willow solve the mystery and find room to be herself along the way? Or will her plot to run home to the wide-open spaces and memories of her mum land Willow in even more trouble?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is a wonderful story<\/strong> about adjusting to a new life, being true to yourself, accepting friends and family for who they are, dealing with grief and helping others.<\/p>\n

Willow\u2019s determination and attitude make her a character that you will love, and her relationship with Mr Belrose (Mr B) highlights how important connection and companionship are to older people. This will be enjoyed by those in middle to upper primary.”<\/p>\n

\u2018Everything we learn in this heartfelt book<\/strong> is created with love and an understanding of how pivotal changes at crucial ages can affect us, as well as a deep understanding of the foreverness of grief, however long it has been, however old we are.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think books like this remind us of the little Willow in all of us, who is singing and dancing, and roping cows whilst trying to find her way in a confusing world that doesn\u2019t seem to get any easier to understand.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another fantastic A.L. Tait book, and I can\u2019t wait to see what she brings us next.”<\/em><\/p>\n
