By David Almond Illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna
A magical story about finding your identity from one of the most acclaimed storytellers of his generation, richly illustrated in full colour by an internationally renowned artist.
Annie Lumsden can’t focus on letters or numbers in school, and she quickly decides to simply leave. She finds pure joy and delight when she swims in the sea and lies on the rocks at the beach. It’s the stories of her mum and the coming of a stranger that helps Annie come to an understanding of where she came from and what she is that frees her to be fully herself.
