Freya's world is turned upside down when she and her mum move to inner-city Melbourne. Now she's ...

Stuck in a new apartment on the eleventh floor and Freya is afraid of lifts.

Stuck in a new basketball team where not everyone likes a new star player.

Stuck in a classroom of kids who don't know Freya is a donor-conceived baby.

Stuck, just like Little Audrey in the Skipping Girl sign suspended over the suburb of Abbotsford.

Being the new girl makes Freya feel like a dark cloud on a summer's day. Can she figure out how to belong on Vinegar Street?
