Something Somewhere

by Richard Yaxley

Malt’s life is turned upside down when his mother announces they are moving yet again. But this time, it’s to her home town of Pembrooke. And Malt will be meeting his grandmother for the very first time. But things aren’t all that they seem in Pembrooke, leaving Malt with many questions. Like, who is his father really? Who is the mysterious girl who keeps appearing in the trees? Why does a beautiful white owl keep coming to his window? And what sinister things lie within Bushman’s Valley? Will Malt ever find out the truth and a place to truly belong?

Didn't realise I had missed this one.
