The Girl Who Wasn't There
The Girl Who Wasn't There
The paperback edition of the ghostly middle-grade story about siblings and friendship from the bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.
The Girl Who Wasn't There begins with the promise of a fairy tale: 'And we're going to live here, happily ever after, just like a fairy tale.'
When Dad tells Luna and her little sister Aurora that they're moving to live in a real tower, it's almost like they've stepped inside a fairy tale. But everything is not as magical as it first seems. The tower needs patching up, Dad still doesn't have a job, and they're not even allowed in the room up at the very top.
When it's time to start at their new school, Luna quickly finds a friend, but six-year-old Aurora absolutely hates the children in her class. She prefers to spend her time with her imaginary friend Tansy. Aurora's make-belief life causes problems for them all—and it seems like Aurora really believes Tansy exists...
Is there really a curse on the tower—and will Luna be able to break it?
A spine-tingling tale from the bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.
