ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Sid looks forward all year to her summer holiday in Penlee Point, where she and her best friend Lou look for treasure and make up stories about a famous 19th-century shipwreck. But this year is different, because her Mum has brought along her new boyfriend and his teenaged daughter, and Lou has invited Hailey, who is too cool for such childish things. Suddenly Sid is faced with being the outsider.

An emotionally intelligent novel about friendship, being true to yourself and the bravery to accept change. Ages 9-12 Lindy

A funny, moving middle-grade novel about change and friendship from the award-winning author of Meet Me at the Moon Tree

When Sid sets off on her annual summer holiday to the Shipwreck Coast, she's desperate for some familiarity after a year of unwanted change. Two weeks with her best friend, Lou, is exactly what she needs. They can continue their search for the millions of dollars' worth of riches that disappeared in a tragic shipwreck over a hundred years ago.

But Lou has brought along her popular new school friend Hailey, who's more interested in boys than treasure hunting. So while Lou is busy chasing Hailey's approval, Sid is left scrambling to catch up, wondering when everything changed. Can Sid protect her heart from getting shipwrecked too?
