The Girl with Wings by Jaco Jacobs
An enchanting middle grade fantasy adventure from South Africa’s most renowned children’s author, Jaco Jacobs. “A sweet, funny mystery about friendship, family – and feathers!” Holly Webb Wilson Taylor is desperate to fit in. To not live in a house on wheels, to not have a famous mother and, especially, to not be named after a tennis racket. Wilson’s family have just moved to a new town, where she meets Ava – a girl who doesn’t fit in at all. There’s only one problem: someone else has discovered Ava’s secret, and they’re determined to make her the star of their show. When Ava goes missing, it’s up to Wilson and her new friend Errol to find her. Can they pull off a daring rescue mission before it’s too late? “An enchanting fable, filled with adventure and mystery.” Anthony McGowan “A magical adventure bursting with humour and excitement!” Emma BeswetherickPraise for A Good Day for Climbing Trees:
