Book Description
Jo-Jo, the kangaroo, was a very sad kangaroo. He was sad because it was the day before Christmas Eve and all his friends were able to go down to the creek in the magic bushland for a swim and he could not. Jo-Jo had come down with a cold the day before. His eyes were watery, his throat was sore, and his nose was red and stuffy. All of Jo-Jos friends laughed at Jo-Jo because the night before his nose glowed bright red. Jo-Jo didnt think it was funny. He got very sad and went and curled up in his bed. When he lay in his bed, he looked out the window and gazed up at the stars. Suddenly a shooting star went shooting through the sky. Jo-Jo looked up at the shooting star and made a wish. I wish my friends would stop laughing at me, he said. Jo-Jo then closed his eyes and fell fast asleep.

Book Description
Following her acclaimed debut Little Darlings, Melanie Golding's newest folkloric suspense is a spine-tingling twist on Celtic mythology. One dark December night, in a small seaside town, a little girl is found abandoned. When her mother finally arrives, authorities release the pair, believing it to be an innocent case of a toddler running off. Gregor, a seemingly single man, is found bludgeoned and left for dead in his apartment, but the discovery of children's toys raises more questions than answers. Every night, Ruby gazes into Gregor’s apartment, leading to the discovery of his secret family: his unusually silent daughter and his mentally unstable wife, Constance, who insists that she is descended from the mythological Selkies. She begs Ruby to aid in finding the sealskin that Gregor has hidden from her, making it impossible to return to her people. DS Joanna Harper's investigation into Gregor’s assault leads her to CCTV footage of the mother-daughter pair from town. Harper realizes she knows the woman almost as well as she knows herself: it's her estranged daughter, Ruby. No matter the depth of Ruby’s involvement, she knows she will choose her daughter over her career. Steeped in local legend and exploring the depths of what it means to be a mother, Melanie Golding's newest novel is "a lyrical and atmospheric folktale for the modern age." (Bustle, on Little Darlings)
