|summary=Well-written and beautifully illustrated story about a young girl grieving for her older brother. Highly recommended. Tom Avery popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Tom Avery|chat to us]].
}}
Kaia feels frozen after the death of her beloved older brother. With her mum not talking about it and both struggling to cope, she withdraws into a shell and stops spending time with her friends. Then a mysterious boy joins her school and she starts to spend time with him. Even though he never speaks, she slowly starts to come out of her shell. Can she ever rediscover happiness?
Another really touching book about a girl dealing with the loss of a family member is [[Life, Death and Gold Leather Trousers by Fiona Foden]], which is perhaps aimed at slightly older readers than this but will still be enjoyed by all, I'd say.
