 Adam Sinclair lives with his parents in a nice house with a private tutor and everything he could ever want. But his life isn't perfect-far from it. He's stuck at home recovering from cancer with an overprotective mum and no friends.

 Can they solve the mystery of Noah's missing mother together? And can their teamwork save their zoo of rescued animals from the rising flood?

My Review:-Norah Day and her Dad have to live in temporary accommodation at a Bed and Breakfast, but that means during the day they are not allowed to stay in. When Norah was on her own she goes to the park on her bike. Norah has been feeding some birds in a nest, but they have gone. She discovers that a boy in the rich houses has something to do with it. Adam's life might look great from the outside to people but not everything is always what it think. Norah and Adam become friends, and soon learn that they aren't that much different. I found this book was very close to how life is now, people struggling to eat, homeless, as well as illness and how people are affected in different ways. My granddaughter and I really enjoyed this book and talking about what she thought about it.
