A remarkable first novel from a huge new talent in children's fiction. Flame-haired Cedar's dog Stinky has gone missing and the house feels thuddingly empty. Her puddle of people usually consists of three, but since her brother Barnaby was sent away it has been just Cedar and her mother. And Stinky. But when a mysterious boy called Kite finds the dog, Cedar discovers through him a new and liberating world of daring acrobatics. Kite is about to overturn Cedar - and her life - in every way!
Martine Murray was born in Melbourne and still lives there. She started writing because she thought it would be a good idea to learn a practical skill like typing. Apart from discovering a lot about waitressing, cooking rice and yoga, she has spent most of her time studying impractical things (like art, acrobatics and dance).
