Sometimes, something happens in your life that changes everything. When Sasha was six, her dad died suddenly and the world changed forever. Now she’s twelve, it feels like things are changing all the time: her twin brother hardly talks to her any more, her mum’s dating a teacher from school, her best friend Lily keeps going on about boys ... and Sasha doesn’t feel ready for any of it. Why can’t things just stay the same?
The one place she can escape to is Blossom House, her secret place – an old, echoey, overgrown, beautiful, empty mansion, where the only thing that changes is the weather and the flowers in the garden. There’s just one problem: it isn’t hers. And even a house can have secrets ...
A funny and heartfelt story - perfect for ages 8+!
