The Leap [Paperback]

It was an accident!

When Wendy jumps off the family piano and shatters her mam's favourite glass table, she doesn't just break the glass, she cracks open a whole other world. With the shards packed into her backpack and emotions bubbling inside her, Wendy follows her dad through a trapdoor and into another world.

The Leaptakes us to a place where ancient wrongs may be righted, new worlds are created and a young girl's sad heart may be cured. It might be possible to piece together what's been broken. But only if she chooses.
