Another emotional read by S.E Durrant!
You'd think I learnt my lesson having read Lite Bits of Sky, but no. Once again I was unprepared.

This story is a beautiful one, focusing on friendships, both young and old, family, and the struggles, worries and joy that come from caring for someone with Dementia.

A wonderful book for older primary age children upwards, that will get them thinking about the past, and considering the metaphors and mystery of life. All following the plot of a family mystery waiting to be solved by 11 year old Iris and her next door neighbour 'not-friend' Mason.

The plot is very well paced, with a good balance of emotion, mystery, action and real world problems to really engross and involve children in its reading.

- This book would be a great class read for a History/English/Art cross-curricular topic, focusing on the black and white photography and historical mystery elements it follows -
