Leelu has just moved to London with her mother and her brother Tiber. Her father is thousands of miles away and Leelu doesn't understand why nobody will tell her why he can't come to be with them. At her new school, Leelu suddenly realises that she doesn't understand anything the teacher is telling her although all of her classmates seem to understand perfectly. Even stranger, someone is leaving strange objects at her house. Nut shells, trinkets and other things. Leelu becomes convinced that these items have magical powers. Things become even more confusing when she notices her brother sneaking out at night and a strange man from across the street watching her house. With her mum working late hours and the questions piling up, Leelu looks to her neighbour, a young girl named Betsy, for help. With the pressure mounting, Leelu becomes desperate to find some answers to these seemingly insurmountable questions. More importantly, she wants to try to find a way to get her father back. Leelu is a tremendously loveable character and her journey is an interesting one. I really recommend this to ages 9 and up!
