The
Shape
Julia hides secret treasure
in her treehouse. From there she can see everything - the new
neighbours moving in, her dad at work in the fields.
In
her house there are secrets too. But Julia can't figure them
out by herself. All she knows is that her mum doesn't laugh
anymore. And at night the creeping shadow on her bedroom wall
turns into a shape she can't ignore.
'Dianne
Bates, a leading writer of stories for seven- to eleven-year-olds,
has written a sensitive and gentle story ... moving, but treated
with an acute awareness of young reader's level of understanding.'
-- Gail Mahon, Australian Bookseller and Publisher, June 2000
