SHORTLISTED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL
All the time Mum was away,
Eleven long years,
I saved up my hopes
Like little pennies in a jar.
Apple's mother disappeared years ago, leaving Apple with her nana and a lot of unanswered questions. But when she unexpectedly explodes back into Apple's life like a comet, homecoming is bittersweet. It's only when Apple meets someone more lost than she is that she begins to see things as they really are.
This beautiful novel from multi-award-winning author Sarah Crossan explores family, friendship and reconciliation. It is a story about how messy, complicated and surprising love can be.
