This coming-of-age novel for middle-grade readers is about accepting and celebrating differences.

Audrey is used to not fitting in. She knows she’s different – even her little sister calls her “Nerd Girl”. When her family moves to the country to live on a vineyard property, Audrey makes a secret friend: a boy, Finch, who seems to understand her as nobody else can. But there’s something mysterious about Finch. Who is he, really?

Award-winning author Penny Matthews is beloved in the community and a new middle-grade novel by her will be embraced.
This is a cracking coming-of-age story about adapting to circumstances, accepting that we are all different and learning to value those differences.
With its strong environmental message and authentic rural setting, this is a good contrast to middle-grade novels about city living.
