Publisher Description
Jane's world has been turned upside down. A new baby sister. A new school. A new town. Jane is sure that she will be miserable. But sometimes friendship can bloom in the most unexpected places. She meets a curious boy, a shy dark-haired girl and a mysterious old lady who lives in a house with an astonishing garden. The old lady has a secret. And when Jane uncovers it, it will change her life. On Orchard Road, by Australian author Elsbeth Edgar, is about friendship, hope and the healing power of nature and art. Short-listed for the Western Australian Premier's Book Awards and a Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Notable Book for Younger Readers, it explores themes of loneliness, friendship, bullying and coping with change.
