From Onjali Q. Rauf, author of The Boy at the Back of the Class, comes another
incredible story, told with humour and heart. Touching on the challenges
navigated by children caring for loved ones at home, this story brings into
focus their hardships and worries, alongside the unexpected, invisible sources
of kindness which can change their lives.
10-year-old Audrey has a secret. A secret no one - not her friends, her
teachers, not even her neighbours - knows about. And to keep it hidden she has
become one of the best actresses on the planet. As soon as she steps out of
the front door, the show is on, and all the world becomes her stage! No-one
would ever guess that she is a nurse and doctor for her mam, the family food
shopper (and sometimes shoplifter), a medicines collector, and even bedtime-
reader for her younger siblings.
But when Audrey's mam gets sicker, things go from difficult to impossible. If
Mam's condition doesn't improve, there's a chance the family will be
separated. And so Audrey becomes determined to find a way of to get her mam
the best treatment available, so that they won't ever need to be apart. The
only problem is, the treatment will cost her thousands. Thousands that Audrey
doesn't have.
As Audrey sets about trying to make her dream for her family come true with a
plan that involves her precious stamp collection, an unsuspecting postal
system, and a journey all the way from Wales to London, someone else on the
street embarks on a secret mission of their own. One that will alter Audrey's
life - and that of her family - forever.
