A warm and charming tale of diversity, language, and the shared cultures that make-up modern life.
Shona has always loved words. She even has her very own strange word thesaurus! When her and her classmates learn that some languages are dying out, Miss Bates tasks them with becoming top-class word detectives, proving to themselves and their families that there are many beautiful languages still thriving, even within their own classroom.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
