About this item

by Zanni Louise (Author)

Amid the uncertainty of not having a permanent home, twelve-year-old Queenie finds unforeseen friendship--and unexpected confidence--in this warm, sensitive story addressing loss and belonging.

To Queenie, home is Peachy, the little peach-walled house she's lived in forever, all art deco and flaky paint. Always a provider of solace. But when she and her mom have to move out, suddenly one temporary move follows another, from a retirement village to a flood-prone old camper van to a shared home, sometimes with just her father's guitar under her arm and some budding lyrics in her head. Along the way, the change-resistant Queenie discovers that home isn't a place at all--it's making new friends and reconnecting with old ones, letting yourself be uncomfortable, and finding the courage to share your song with the world. With insight, honesty, and gentle humor, Zanni Louise's timely novel touches on the experience of housing insecurity as it introduces a relatable protagonist who readers will want to follow wherever she goes.
