Sometimes all it takes is a little magic to find your voice ...
What a magnificent debut book this is. Emily Kenny has crafted a fantastic tale of friendships, adventures, betrayal and mystery, hitting the right tone at every stage of the story.
Alice is a truly relatable character and Kenny has tapped into the inner workings of Alice's mind with real skill as we are introduced to her world and the impact autism has on her day-to-day life.
I was rooting for Alice from the very first lines – perhaps due to our shared dislike of sand and seaweed. The same can be said of Tim and Ottie as they both struggle with the challenges of family and friendship, coming out the other side stronger and braver than ever.
The book is packed full of twists and turns that kept me guessing right up to the end. Emily Kenny masterfully unveils the different layers of the story, with subplots, revelations and parallel action which make the story rich and consistently enjoyable.
With breathtaking artwork from Flavia Sorrentino, this is a book that needs to be on bookshelves and in school libraries up and down the country. We can't wait for future instalments in this series!
