UNEXPECTED FIND (PB)

£6.99

Simon is different, and people don’t really like that. Judy is difficult, and people don’t like that either. So when they become friends, it’s unexpected. And everything that comes next – the search for Judy’s father, the journey to Sweden, the crash, the fight – I guess you could say that’s unexpected too.

Description

Written by Toby Ibbotson, son of the bestselling author Eva Ibbotson, this exceptional middle grade story is captivating, heartfelt and brilliant in equal measure.

When a storm hits a small and sleepy town, it ravages every living thing.

But storms don’t just destroy, they uncover.

And when a young boy discovers a mysterious object that has lay hidden beneath a centuries-old tree, he instantly knows that it’s special.

What he doesn’t know is that his unexpected find will unite him with a girl searching for her missing father and trigger a series of events that will see them travelling across Europe under the most unusual circumstances.

  • Beautifully written, The Unexpected Find is Toby Ibbotson’s break-through masterpiece that’s a classic in the making.

    Left with the odious task of choosing an audio book for our epic East to West trip to Dublin with my dog loving, extremely well read (ex library worker), hard to please mother I went with "Lessons in Chemisty" by @BonnieGarmus. Oh my word! What a hit! Serous bookseller cudos ❤️📚

Such a lovely story, wonderful illustrations and so much info in there about prehistoric wildlife. We love it already. Perfect for the @break_charity mammoth 🦣 trail in #Norfolk this summer #kidlit
