Summary
The Unexpected Summer of Rebecca
Eleven-year-old Rebecca just wants to blend in, hoping nobody notices how weird she is. Stuck alone in a new neighbourhood during the holidays while her mum works, she meets Chester, a whirlwind of fun and big ideas, who is staying for the summer.
Can Rebecca step outside her quiet comfort zone? She’s about to discover she’s braver than she ever imagined.
A gentle, warm-hearted story about friendship and finding your courage.
