Listening for Lucca by Suzanne LaFleur is perfect for 9+ girls who love Jacqueline Wilson.
Summer on the beach, a sprinkling of magic and a ghostly mystery of the past intertwine in an irresistible and compelling story from the author of the acclaimed Love, Aubrey.
''We''re moving to your house - the one from your dream''.
Siena sees what isn''t there; collects what''s left behind.
''Lucca led me to his room, and then just stood in the middle, waiting for me to notice something''.
Her brother Lucca hasn''t spoken for over a year.
The doctors think he needs a fresh start, that''s why her family left Brooklyn. But their new home feels hauntingly familiar - and when Siena finds an old pen, the story she writes is not her own . . .
Can the secrets of the past help Siena break her brother''s silence?
