Agnes knows she is at home before she even opens her eyes in the
morning. The sounds and smells and people swirl around her--she always
knows what everyone is up to in the tight-knit apartment building where
she lives. But she also knows what it is like to be the only child in a
place full of adults who never have time.
So when a little girl moves in to the building, Agnes is excited and
sends her a subtle message. But the girl doesn't respond. Then things
start to change around Agnes's place--and Agnes knows exactly who is to
blame. It seems like the girl is interested in everyone except for
Agnes!
Will Agnes and the new girl ever meet? And what secrets does the new
girl hold? First published in Norway, this is a lovely story about home
and belonging and how one person can transform our world.
