Luna Rae is Not Alone

By Hayley Webster

Quantity

“The thing about a new house is everything’s new. That sounds really obvious, I know, but if you think about it, one of the things about where you live is that you build up all this stuff there … You get used to old things. New things take getting used to.”

Luna Rae has moved to a new house and a new school. It’s hard fitting in – especially when there’s so much to worry about at home. She’s SURE that the way to solve everything is by winning the school baking competition with her mum … but there’s a problem. Luna’s mum has disappeared.

A wise, warm and uplifting story about families and friendship, from a beautiful new voice in children’s fiction.
