Judi Curtin takes us straight into the story in a lively and believable way. Eva is off to Seacove on holiday and looking forward to meeting her friend Kate again but discovers that there is a mystery about Kate which Eva feels bound to solve. Kate is taken into care when her grandmother is too sick to care for her but Eva is determined to track down Kate’s long lost dad and reunite them when she visits London with her friend Ruby. All ends happily as Eva finds a way forward which allows Kate to live happily in a foster home while still being reunited with her father. The story flows beautifully and Judi Curtin’s writing style is easy to read and pushes the reader along to turn the page to see what happens next. Deva is a likeable heroine who tries to do what is right and is a good role model for young readers. I would heartily recommend both this book and the author.
Fun, feisty Eva Gordon's never been one to shy away from helping her friends - whether they want her help or not! - but this time she might have found a problem that's too big even for her ...When Eva and her family head to Seacove for their summer holidays, she's looking forward to seeing Kate again, but it turns out things have gone very wrong for Kate. Her granny's in the hospital, and with no else to look after her, Kate's hiding out at home by herself, afraid she's going to be taken into care.
Read the full description
Eva tries to be a good friend and help her out, but how long can a twelve-year-old manage by herself? It's not just Kate who needs Eva's help, though helping Ruby turns out to be a LOT more fun! Ruby needs Eva to keep her company on a trip to London where she's trying out for a scholarship.
Is there any way the trip away with Ruby can help everyone sort things out? It seems impossible, but if you have a problem that needs solving, just leave it to Eva! Eva's third book from bestselling author Judi Curtin.
