Little House

About Little House

Juno is far from thrilled about spending her summer holidays with her grandfather. Upset about missing out on plans with friends and still reeling from her mum's departure, she carries a heavy heart. But her summer takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a forgotten 'little family' tucked away in her grandfather's attic. This discovery sparks a unique project: carefully crafting a new home for these miniature inhabitants.

As Juno dedicates herself to this delicate task, she begins a parallel journey of emotional growth and understanding. Through the act of building a home for others, she starts to confront her own feelings of anger and abandonment. Carnegie Medal-winning author Katya Balen masterfully explores profound themes of home, family, forgiveness, and the complex reasons behind people's actions. This thought-provoking novella is a poignant read for young readers navigating change and emotional challenges, making it an ideal choice for children's fiction enthusiasts and those seeking dyslexia-friendly books.
