New year, new book! Let me introduce you to Wanda, and her HUGE secret…
For the last three years, Wanda and her mum Patti have been backpacking around the world. For Patti, this travelling adventure has been pure heaven, but 12-year-old Wanda is becoming more and more homesick – for a home that doesn’t even exist. Then one day, Wanda stumbles upon a secret her mother has been hiding from her, and Wanda recklessly decides it’s time to have an adventure of her own.
Wanda tells her story in her own unique, rambly way, through the lens of her ADHD. Meanwhile, far away in England, another girl – Margot – scribbles in her diary, unaware of the shocking surprise that’s about to land on her doorstep!
This story started snowballing in my head soon after my (grown-up) son Eddy was diagnosed with ADHD. Of course, everyone’s experience of ADHD is different and individual, but Eddy has definitely influenced my telling of Wanda’s story, and I have to thank him SO much for his editorial input!
Hope you love reading about Wanda as much as I’ve loved writing about her world…
