When Alice meets a sister she never knew she had, her whole world is thrown upside-down. Her dad isn’t someone she wants to be in contact with—in fact, Alice, her mum and brother moved towns to stay away from him. But now she has a sister who has very different memories of the dad they share, and Alice’s childhood memories come right back up to the surface.

At first, Alice doesn’t know if she wants anything to do with her sister, but with her best mate Alfie’s help, Alice starts to build a relationship with her... and learns how to heal old wounds in the process.

Magpie by Eve Ainsworth explores themes of family, memory, and reconciliation through the eyes of a young girl navigating unexpected truths.
