carefully apart, Greta fears she could lose it all . . . A

Walking People is a powerful and compelling story about our

understanding . . . rich with story' JOHN BOYNE on Ask Again, Yes

don't always need fast action and twists' Prima, 'Best Books of

that I was quickly drawn into their story and didn't want it to
end' 5***** Reader Review 'The story becomes so engrossing it grows
