About this book
As she ventures into her final year of primary school, Rosie’s world is about to change. Friends who were once interested in talking about animals and watching programmes about space now want to stare at boys playing football. But not every change in Rosie’s life is unwelcome. On the way home from school one day she encounters an astronaut and her dog. They ask Rosie for help, explaining that the ‘cysgodfilod’ have stolen different parts of their rocket. With the encouragement of her new friend – with whom she can be her true self – Rosie ventures on a mission to help the astronaut. This is a totally original book that allows us to see the world through Rosie’s unique viewpoint.
