Frankie Bradley and Charis Watts are unlikely friends with very contrasting backgrounds: Frankie comes from a rich and successful family, Charis from a modest and dysfunctional one. But when they discover the same secret place on Dartmouth estuary a friendship begins bound by a shared humour and imagination. Together they create a secret world with its own language and life seems mesmiritious - meaning as good as anything could ever get. Then confident, beautiful Frankie is diagnosed with cancer and Charis finds she has to support the friend who she has always seen as the stronger one in their relationship. |

“The power of this book lies in the way the fragmented, awkward, independence of the two young teens is portrayed with great accuracy, warmth and grace. The surety of the characterisation is masterly, and gives wonderful texture to the narrative.” “The newest title from award-winning Pauline Fisk is a gem….it is moving and heartwarming without being at all sentimental.” “[A] richly layered novel about what it means to be a real friend.” |
