'Heart-stirring and quirky' Peterborough Telegraph
Some old love letters. A lonely teenager. A new beginning . . .
Asta Fung is sixteen and sulky. Her parents have moved the whole family to take over the Yau Sum takeaway in another town so Grandpa Charlie can be closer to the big hospital. She's had to give up her dog, her friends, her familiar teenage life. All too soon, she has to give up Grandpa Charlie too. What was the point?
When the builder's son, Josh, hands her a bundle of love letters he found under the floorboards, Asta realises they were hidden there by Grandpa Charlie as a young man. Desperate to keep the memory of her grandfather alive, she determines to track down the mysterious Ela Hennessy who wrote them, but as the new girl in town, Asta will have to do it on her own.
Or so she thinks . . .

About the Author
Julie Ma was born and raised in Carmarthen, after her grandfather arrived in Wales from China in the 1920s. Her parents set up a Chinese takeaway in the 1970s and she took over the business with her brother in 2008. As the child of parents who didn't speak English well, her love of reading and writing came from school and a legendary bookshop called Derrick Williams that allowed children to browse for hours.
