£7.99
Can Iris work out how to fix Mimi, her grandmother? While Mason, her ‘not a friend’, compares Mimi’s behaviour to that of his grandfather, Iris is uncertain. Yet, Mimi adds jam to eggs, holds an umbrella to protect her from rain when in the kitchen, but then, Mimi’s always been rather eccentric, hasn’t she? It’s what drives Mum mad about her!
Iris is staying with Mimi while Dad removes all the mould from her bedroom. It gives Iris space from the twins and time to enjoy her grandmother’s company. However, things aren’t really going as well as they might. Mason has seen Mimi ‘Talking to the Moon’. When he’s not talking about his marble collection, he’s full of questions and laughter about Mimi and her behaviour. Iris hopes that the museum cine-loop film they’ve discovered of a laughing red-haired girl might hold out clues to help Mimi. After all this girl wears a bracelet that matches Mimi’s. What is the story?
Talking to the Moon is a thoroughly engaging, sincere, heart-warming story of a situation familiar to many families. S.E. Durrant’s tender storytelling includes fully formed, realistic characters. It is outstanding. We recommend Talking to the Moon to confident readers who seek a real-life, empathetic, necessary book.
