- Book Synopsis
-
A stunning contemporary real-life story from the brilliant author of Ella on the Outside, with beautiful illustrations by Miguel Bustos.
Hattie's life is already complicated enough. She's about to start secondary school, her best friend is going off with someone else and her dad seems to have completely forgotten his promise to let her have a room of her own.
So when her mum's goddaughter, Seren, arrives and gets special treatment, Hattie feels pushed out.
Could it be that Hattie's family actually prefer Seren?
