Description

Summer is trying to recover from a tragedy, but it seems impossible when her family is falling apart around her. Having an extraordinary best friend like Mal helps a little, but Summer?s secret source of happiness is a link to the past- one very special guitar. Now her dad?s plan to save them is turning Summer?s life upside down again. The next thing she knows, they?ve moved to the other side of the world. In Australia, Summer makes an unlikely friend, who seems to be magically connected to her guitar. Is this for real? Has a mysterious boy been sent to help Summer? Or could it be the other way around?'Summer Jackman is prickly, sad, funny - and absolutely loveable. This pitch-perfect story is full of hope and magic. Exquisite and unforgettable.' Fiona Wood, award-winning author of Wildlife

Author description

Emily Gale was born in London and worked as a children's book editor for several years before going freelance. She is the author of several pre-school books and YA novel Girl Aloud, which has been published in the UK, Germany and the US, where it is called Girl Out Loud. It was shortlisted for a regional UK award and described by Jaclyn Moriarty as powerful, funny, wise and true'. In 2008 Emily and her Australian-born partner moved to Melbourne with their two children. She has since worked on the Authors For Queensland charity auction, which raised over $20,000 for flood victims, and discovered new voices in children's and YA for a literary agent. She is now a children's book buyer and bookseller at Readings. Emily's first book set in Australia is Steal My Sunshine.
