Ice Lolly

Ice Lolly

by Ure (Author)

Synopsis

A heart-warming gem of a novel about a very special girl who suddenly finds herself all alone in the world...

Laurel is only twelve when her mum dies and she is shipped off to stay with relatives she hardly knows. Her new family don't seem to care about anything Laurel loves, including books and Mr Pooter, her old marmalade-coloured cat.

So Laurel decides that she won't feel anything: she'll become Ice Lolly, the girl with the frozen heart. But a special friend and a mysterious letter open up new possibilities for Ice Lolly, and for Mr Pooter...
