Dream On, Amber by Emma Shevah (author)

An imaginative, original and quirky debut by Emma Shevah! ’ ... a beautifully written story.’ INDEPENDANTON SUNDAY

‘Funny, poignant … wise and accessible’ WALLSTREET JOURNAL

Amber Alessandra Leola Kimiko Miyamoto. As if her name made up for being tiny, half Japanese and half Italian, and starting a new school with a caveman phone. Dream on!

But the hardest bit about being Amber is that a part of her is missing. Her dad. He left when she was little and if he isn’t coming back, she’ll have to sort things out another way.

And Amber has a big imagination …

Gorgeous, rejacketed reissue of critically acclaimed Emma Shevah’s debut, a funny, moving, beautifully written story of a girl coping with her missing dad.

Explores themes about the modern-day dysfunctional family: being mixed-race, starting school and finding your individuality.

Illustrated with funny and quirky black-and-white doodles.
