Summary

The importance and meaning of home is explored in this thought-provoking new novella from Carnegie Medal winning author Katya Balen. 
Juno’s furious about being sent to stay with her grandfather for the summer. She’ll miss all the fun she and her friends had planned for the holidays. She’ll also miss her mum, but it’s her mum’s fault for leaving anyway. 
Then Juno discovers a long-forgotten little family in her grandfather’s attic. As she works to carefully craft a new home for them, can she learn to forgive her mum and understand her reasons for going away? 
In this award-winning, multigenerational fiction, Juno, a reluctant teenage reader, navigates through her emotions and feelings, learning about friendship and the social dynamics of her aged parents. The story, short yet packed with themes, is a testament to the power of understanding and forgiveness. 
For fans of Donna Barba Higuera (Alebrijes), Sharon M. Draper (Out of My Dreams), Kiran Millwood Hargrave (Leila and the Blue Fox), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and S. F. Said (The Outlaw Varjak Paw).
