}}
It is Christmas Eve and Jelly's family are gathered together to celebrate. It should have been a perfect night but for Jelly it is not because her family have recently moved to the other side of the city, far from all her friends, just as she is about to start at senior school. She is feeling so alone and miserable that nothing will brighten her mood and to avoid the festivities Jelly and her two cousins slip away in the darkness to the nearby creek.
I should like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of this book to the Bookbag.
Another highly recommended story on a similar theme for slightly more mature readers is the award winning [[Skellig by David Almond]] Unfinished Angel by Sharon Creech is a charming story about a friendship between a young girl and an angel that may also appeal to this age group. {{amazontext|amazon=1405262087}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=1405262087}}
