Grandfather had been gone for two years but I never thought it would be an ordinary day he'd come back, like a Monday or a Tuesday... I always knew he'd return across the water, triumphing over a few monsters on the way, I just didn't know when...
When Azi's grandfather leaves their small Mediterranean island, Azi waits every day for him to return. The arrival of a nesting turtle and a tall sandy dog convinces Azi that it must mean that Grandfather is on his way. As Azi digs deeper into the past, he begins to unravel hidden secrets and starts to find out just how alike he and his grandfather really are. And without him, Azi knows he will never feel complete...
In this bestselling book by Sarah Lean, the Sunday Times bestselling author, the emotions and feelings of the characters are as real as the European places described. The multigenerational themes and social aspects of the story make it a top pick for children and adults alike.
For fans of Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers), Robin Stevens (The Ministry of Unladylike Activity 2), Philip Pullman (The Secret Commonwealth), and Susanna Bailey (Snow Foal).
