A heartwarming story about family, community, and the unexpected arrival of a child in need.
Deliveries do not come late on a school night. They don't come in a speeding car. And they don't cry. When Poppy Campbell's dad opens the front door to find a small, very distressed child clinging to a green blanket, the family try their hardest to do the right thing.
They make the little girl comfortable, call the police, and look after her while the authorities search for her family. This realistic fiction explores themes of abandonment, empathy, and the importance of community. Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who enjoy stories about family and social issues.
