SHORTLISTED FOR THE PRIME MINISTER'S LITERARY AWARDS 2021
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CBCA BOOK OF THE YEAR: OLDER READERS 2021 A
runaway, a baby and a whole lot of questions... Lissa is home on
her own after school one afternoon when a stranger turns up on the
doorstep carrying a baby. Reed is on the run - surely people are
looking for him? He's trying to find out who he really is and
thinks Lissa's mum might have some answers. But how could he be
connected to Lissa's family - and why has he been left in charge of
a baby? A baby who is sick, and getting sicker ... Reed's
appearance stirs up untold histories in Lissa's family, and
suddenly she is having to make sense of her past in a way she would
never have imagined. Meanwhile, her brother is dealing with a
devastating secret of his own. A beautiful and timely coming-of-age
story about finding out who you are in the face of crisis and
change. 'This book is a joy to read' CBCA Judges report Praise for
Jane Godwin: 'refreshingly unpredictable, bold and refuses to
minimise the complex lives of [its] characters' - Saturday Age on
As Happy as Here 'an empathetic exploration of family, friendship
and how all our actions have consequences' - Readings Monthly
'gentle, well-written and thoroughly engaging' - Adelaide
