'A moving story about a shy girl coming out of her shell with a little help from her pet snail

'Lucy and Dad move a lot, so it's hard to make friends.

'Luckily, she has Snail, the perfect pet for a lonely girl. If only she had her own shell to hide in when she started at a new school.

'But this place is different. She likes her teacher, Miss Darling. She likes her classmates, especially Tahnee. She even likes Mei-hui's van park, where she lives with Dad and Snail. This place feels like home. But can she convince her dad to stay?

'From the author of Bully on the Bus comes this moving story about making friends and finding where you belong.' (Publication summary)
