Norah's Ark is an uplifting tale of empathy, friendship, and finding a sense of belonging in the face of adversity.

Norah Day lives in temporary accommodation, relies on food banks for dinner, and doesn't have a mum. But she's happy enough with her dad and a mini zoo of rescued wildlife to care for. Adam Sinclair lives with his parents in a nice house with a private tutor and everything he could ever want. But his life isn't perfect-far from it. He's stuck at home recovering from cancer with an overprotective mum and no friends.

When a nest of baby birds brings them together as an animal rescue team, Adam and Norah discover they're not so different after all. Can they solve the mystery of Norah's missing mother together? And can their teamwork save their zoo of rescued animals from the rising flood?

Reviews for Norah's Ark

"""This powerful novel sensitively highlights some really tough issues, including homelessness, addiction, illness and bullying. The chapters are narrated by Norah and Adam in turn, which enables readers to empathise with both characters. An intriguing, poignant and ultimately uplifting tale, with kindness, compassion and honesty at its heart.""—BookTrust;""a really stunning book with a deeply satisfying ending""—Jo Cotterill, author of A Library of Lemons and co-author of The Starlight Stables Gang"
