Amber Alessandra Leola Kimiko Miyamoto. As if her name made up
for being tiny, half Japanese and half Italian, and starting a new
school with a caveman phone. Dream on!
But the hardest bit about being Amber is that a part of her is
missing. Her dad. He left when she was little and if he isn’t
coming back, she’ll have to sort things out another way.
And Amber has a big imagination …
Gorgeous, rejacketed reissue of critically acclaimed
Emma Shevah's debut, a funny, moving, beautifully written story of
a girl coping with her missing dad.
Explores themes about the modern-day dysfunctional family:
being mixed-race, starting school and finding your individuality.
Illustrated with funny and quirky black-and-white doodles.
