Description
Two years after being orphaned in a horrific car crash, twelve-year-old Sebby remains silent and zombie-like. His aunt and guardian Matilda hopes that a new home in the tranquillity of the Cornish countryside will help restore his health.
Sebby is quickly befriended by the precocious Winny, only child of a local farmer, Greg DeSilva. Not exactly a knight in shining armour, but Greg looks good on horseback; and even better in jodhpurs. Too bad he’s already claimed by pretty, confident Mary-Jo.
As Sebby emerges from a self-imposed prison, Matilda also finds her voice, aware that she too has been drifting through life, content with “good enough” when she could be magnificent. From being afraid to say “Boo” to a goose, Matilda finally finds the strength to go after exactly what she wants on her terms.
