Gabriella Midwinter used to have a home. She wasn’t invisible back then… For fans of Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson, a stunning new novel from the author of SHINE, GLITTER, SEA OF STARS and A MILLION ANGELS. “What’s strange is that the day it actually happened, everything seemed so normal.” Caught between arguing parents and moving house, twelve-year-old Gabriella somehow slips through the cracks.
