Anna cover

Every cloud has a silver lining... doesn't it?

Anna is thirteen years old, lives in London with her father, and has Asperger's syndrome.  When her father dies, she moves to Scotland to live with her estranged, reclusive mother.

With little support to help her fit in, she must use every coping strategy her father taught her - especially her 'Happy Game' - as she tries to connect with her mother, discover her past, and deal with the challenges of being thrown into a brand new life along the way.

Eleanor H. Porter's 'Pollyanna' re-imagined for a new generation.

Heart-warming and life-affirming.

Guthrie has an unerring instinct for the darkness that can daunt lives and for the robust spirit of optimism that time and again saves us.  Narrated with simplicity and sincerity, the reader will be swept up in the adventures and misadventures of Anna.
