The Truth About Amber - Tapa blanda

The Truth...

The tale of a young girl thrown into small town living after the repossession of their city house and belongings. A family split apart, an ipod with no wifi, and new friendships to build – how will 11 year old Amber cope? When Gran suggests a pen pal to ease the boredom, a friendship starting out with a few little fibs soon becomes based on a great big pack of lies. Will her pen pal, Millie, find out ‘The Truth About Amber'? Amber could be in more trouble than she bargained for! Her multgenerational family has an inventive Grandad, an... adventurous... cook for a Grandma, and a mum trying to hold it all together in the face of separation and possible divorce. Oh and there's a shaggy headed boy with an equally shaggy and boisterous dog living up the road. A tale of coming of age and forgiveness. The adventure begins... A fast paced read for 9 to 12 year olds, with black and white drawings at the beginning of each chapter.
