Sky legs

Fülszöveg

Eleni moves to a village in the clouds, where the blue mountains and the sky seem to stretch forever but, surprisingly, peoples minds don't.
She's been hoping that she can make a new start and leave behind the sense of loss and the low self-esteem that she has been struggling with for most of her life. But this is the kind of place where anyone new or different will never be allowed to fit in. And Eleni is definitely different!
So when she and her friends come up against small-mindedness, they find a way to fight it and to change attitudes — beginning with their own.
Eleni draws unexpected strength from her mother's determination to live triumphantly and realises that even in her bleakest moments, her life has been transformed by various kinds of magic and more than once has been touched by angels.
Sky Legs is a passionate, beautiful and uplifting novel by the award-winning author of Willow Tree & Olive.
