Description
A stunning contemporary real-life story from the brilliant author of Ella on the Outside, with beautiful illustrations by Miguel Bustos.
Hattie's life is already complicated enough without Seren coming to live with her... Hattie's about to start secondary school, her best friend is going off with someone else and her father seems to have completely forgotten his promise to give her his office for her own bedroom.
So when Seren, Hattie's mother's godchild, arrives and is given the office, special food instead of the "mulch" that her father makes and is even allowed a pet kitten, Hattie starts to feel pushed out.
Could it be that Hattie's family prefer Seren to her?
