Skaars drie maande terug was Lisa se lewe nog normaal. Hulle was ’n gesin, sy het vriende gehad en sy het geléwe vir ballet.

Maar toe verander alles in ’n oogwink.

Ná die bom bars, gaan haar ma vir drie maande oorsee, en Lisa moet by haar eksentrieke ouma gaan bly wat pienk tekkies dra en glo in lysies maak. Sy moet probeer aanpas in ’n nuwe skool waar alles onbekend is. En sy moet probeer vrede maak met wat gebeur het.

Lisa is nie seker of sy kans sien vir hierdie nuwe begin nie. ’n Mens kan tog nie ’n delete-knoppie druk en al die aaklige dinge in jou lewe uitvee nie. Boonop is sy vasbeslote om nóóit weer te dans nie. En sy weier om met haar pa te praat, ná wat daardie vreeslike dag gebeur het ...

Die enigste ligpunt is Jaco, haar ouma se buurseun met die donker oë, wat sy kort voor lank beter leer ken. Maar dit lyk of iemand daarop uit is om dinge vir haar en Jaco moeilik te maak. Sal Lisa die moed kan bymekaarskraap om weer alleen op ’n verhoog te stap en die wêreld in die oë te kyk?

’n Vars, boeiende debuutroman vir tieners oor die opdraandes én die lekkertes van grootword.

An exciting historical adventure from War Horse author and former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo. Gracie and her friend Daniel have always been warned to stay away from the Birdman and his side of the island. But then they find a message in the sand and discover the Birdman is not who they thought. They build up a lovely friendship with him, but when the children get stranded on Samson Island they don't know whether to believe the birdman's story that the island is cursed. Set against the backdrop of the First World War, in the tradition of Friend or Foe and Private Peaceful Michael Morpurgo brings the emotional reality of conflict to life in a way that is accessible to younger readers. Look out for his other historical adventures including An Eagle in the Snow and Listen to the Moon.
