Eleven-year-old Jones Kirby’s family is forced to leave their farm and move to Sydney. The girl misses her alpacas and can’t get used to the tiny city apartment. And it seems her eyesight is getting worse—she already lost an eye to cancer as a child. Could it be another tumor? But Jones has a strong character, and she’s ready for difficulties. At her new school, Jones meets the shy Augustus. He loves books and remembers many amazing facts, and he also enjoys knitting. But Augustus doesn’t like soccer—and that’s a big problem, because his father, a coach, dreams of turning him into an excellent football player. Augustus and Jones are very different, yet they become friends. A book with a tense plot about overcoming difficulties and forming character will be interesting for readers from 9 years old.
