Sorrento, Victoria, 1999. Fred's family is a mess. Her mother died when she was six and she's been raised by her Pop and adoptive father, Luca, ever since. But now Pop's had to go away, and Luca's girlfriend Anika and her son have moved in. More and more it feels like a land-grab for family and Fred is the one being left off the map.  Even as things feel like they're spinning out of control for Fred, a crisis from the other side of the world comes crashing in. When a group of Kosovar-Albanian refugees are brought to a government 'safe haven' not far from Sorrento, their fate becomes intertwined with the lives of Fred and her family in ways that no one could have expected.  A middle-grade coming-of-age story inspired by true events about the bonds of family, the weight of grief and the power of compassion for fans of THE BONE SPARROW, WOLF HOLLOW and THE THING ABOUT JELLYFISH.

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 3  Langwarrin, Victoria, 1914. The whole world is at war. In Langwarrin on the Mornington Peninsula, fourteen-year-old Jack Thorning is the best marksman in military cadet training. His brother, Matt, taught him everything he knew, after their father died. But now Matt has joined the war effort, and it's up to Jack to hold down the home front and help his mother run the family orchard.  When a group of 'enemy aliens' are sent to Langwarrin to be held prisoner at the military base, tensions in the town run high. For Jack and his best friend, Walter, the war feels closer than ever.   Like the rest of the town, Jack and Walter want nothing to do with the German prisoners. But as the war progresses, the inmates at the camp are put to work doing manual labour on the farms around Langwarrin, including Jack's family orchard, and Jack begins to see that the prisoners are people, too.   What could Jack possibly have in common with the people responsible for keeping his beloved brother at war? And can Shakespeare bring them all together?  PRAISE FOR SHAKESPEARE IN THE ORCHARD:  'Danielle Binks brings a small country town to life, during the First World War, and it is a marvel of wonder and experience ... a gripping book about friendship and burgeoning knowledge, never shying away from the realities of conflict, faithfully delivering us the wisdom of the Bard in Langwarrin through a child's eyes' ALICE PUNG  'A thoughtful, timely novel about a community deeply affected by a distant war, and the ways we find peace in ourselves over conflicting loyalties - it's set in the past but very much a story for today' KELLY GARDINER","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53686937813265,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53686938173713,"sku":"NGR9780734421920","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-danielle-binks.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
