Whatever Happened to My Sister

Description

"I've had my suspicions for a while. But now I know the truth. Someone has replaced my sister with a girl that looks a lot like her..." And so a young girl sets out to find out exactly what happened to her sister. Who is this new sister? Why does she never want to play anymore? For anyone who has ever felt left behind, Simona Ciraolo, paints a touchingly sweet portrayal of the transience of childhood and how adolescence and growing up can be a truly mystifying experience.

Simona Ciraolo is a Sardinian born author and illustrator whose witty and endearing tales recently won her the Sebastian Walker Award. Ciraolo studied animation at the National Film School in Turin, Italy, before moving to the UK where she undertook an MA in Children's Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. She has also worked as a freelance 2D animator for children's TV shows and illustrated five picture books for an independent Italian publisher. Simona lives in South London.

Beautifully penned with a subtly that's palpable, younger children, tweens, teens and adults will feel the heart-pull of this milestone shift from kid to grown-up. * Kids Book Review *
