Description
‘Tender, emotional and beautifully written, it’s reminiscent of Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls’ Daily Mail
‘A poignant, evocative story’ Guardian
‘A beautiful story that will pull at your heartstrings’ Irish News
Eddie feels invisible - his sister Scarlet isn't well and nobody seems to remember that he's here. Out in the forest, as the ice hardens and winter gets deeper, the world is quiet. When a little red bird takes him to meet Mari, a strange and fierce girl with blurred edges just like him, she shows Eddie how to let out the monster that's been growing inside him. As he gathers the courage to finally be heard, will Eddie be able to find his way back through the snow?
Capturing the rare beauty of winter's silence, Sarah Ann Juckes' powerful exploration of the healing power of nature and the joy of finding hope is a future classic to be savoured every winter, beautifully illustrated by Linde Faas.
