Produktbeschreibung

A Waterstone's New Voice 2009
An Amazon Rising Star 2009

Gwenni Morgan is not like any other girl in her small Welsh town. Inquisitive, bookish and full of spirit, she can
fly in her sleep and loves playing detective. So when a neighbour mysteriously vanishes, and no one seems to
be asking the right questions, Gwenni decides to conduct her own investigation.

Mari Strachan's unforgettable novel was one of the most acclaimed and successful debuts of 2009. It is a heartbreaking and hugely enjoyable book.
