This is a gentle, sweet story with a bit of a mystery, some moments of peril, and a central character I became very fond of. It encompasses quite a lot of storylines, and I wasn't always sure that everything worked or was necessary, but the central story of Connor and his missing mum, and the threat to their home, is engaging and I enjoyed seeing Lila trying to help him. I enjoyed the way it slowly unfurled Connor's mum's story...I hadn't guessed at all what had happened. And of course I was rooting for Connor the whole way through.
With thanks to Net Galley for my copy.
