He's the world's vaguest novelist. She's a shy and unusual child. Together, they're travelling the world, one book a time. Award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad returns with a touching new series about family, friendship and finding yourself. For the first nine years of Freja's life, she and her mother Clementine have roamed the planet in search of zoological wonders. Happy, content, together. Freja and Clem. Clem and Freja. But now, everything is changing, and Clementine must send Freja away to live with her old friend Tobias, a bestselling crime writer, and the vaguest man Freja has ever encountered. Toby isn't used to life with a small child, and Freja isn't used to life with people at all, but together they'll stumble into an Italian adventure so big that it will change things forever. And Toby might just discover that life's what's been happening while he was busy writing books. Ages: 8+
