If there is one thing Wilson Taylor has always longed for it’s a normal life. Instead, she lives in a house on wheels with her mum and stepdad (who named her after a tennis racket). Every month, they move on to a new town. Every town is just like the one before. Until she meets Ava – a girl with a secret so big that her mums won’t let her leave the house.

But someone else has got wind of Ava's secret too...and they want her to be the star act of their new show. Wilson is determined to protect her new friend, whatever it takes. Because being different together is MAGICAL.

Reviews for The Girl with Wings

Praise for A Good Day for Climbing Trees: ‘An inspiring story, and a really funny one too.’ Spectator (Books of the Year) 'Quirky, charming and very funny, but with a real emotional punch. It is the perfect place to start for someone looking to move on from The Wimpy Kid books.' Anthony McGowan, author of Dogs of the Deadlands ‘Instantly engaging, funny and robust.' Amanda Craig, New Statesman
