Set in a small Welsh village in the 1950s and told through Gwenni Morgan who is 12 years old. A dreamer and seen as a "bit quaint", an "odd-ball", Gwenni leaves her bed at night and flies high above the Earth listening to the sounds and hums of the village and all below. More than anything Gwenni wants to be a detective like the ones she reads about in her books. Gwenni leads us through her way of looking at her world and dealing with family dramas and secrets. Beautifully detailed, imaginative and poignant, this book is unlike anything you will have read. Highly recommended.
