Description

Freya's world is turned upside down when she and her mum move to inner-city Melbourne. Now she's ...


Stuck in a new apartment on the eleventh floor and Freya is afraid of lifts.


Stuck in a new basketball team where not everyone likes a killer new player.


Stuck in a classroom of kids who don't know Freya is a donor-conceived baby.



Stuck, just like little Audrey in the Skipping Girl sign suspended in mid-air over the suburb of Abbotsford.



Being the new girl makes Freya feel like a dark cloud on a summer's day. Can she figure out how to belong on Vinegar Street
