An imaginative and heartfelt novel about secrets, friendship and family separation.
“We loved The Lightning Catcher by Clare Weze, as did our Cockatoo subscribers. Her new book is equally gripping, heartfelt, and full of wonder, the kind of book that makes you see the world differently. Jake’s story of friendship, responsibility, and hope is beautifully told, with a mystery that keeps you turning the pages.”
~Emily
It's the Christmas holidays, and Jake has nowhere else to go but to work with his mum.
Who is the girl he can see in the attic room across the road? Is she trapped? Does she need help? If Jake tries to help her, what kind of people will put a spotlight on him?
Clare Weze grew up in London and Yorkshire and has British and Nigerian heritage. She writes for both adults and children and has always written around her day job, starting out as a hairdresser in London’s West End, then moving on to a science degree, postgraduate studies and work in the fields of biomedical and environmental research.
