Unity Books Wellington and One Tree House warmly welcome you to join us for a celebratory event to launch Gracehopper by Mandy Hager.
All welcome!
About the Book:
Born in the middle of Taiwan’s 1999 Jiji earthquake, 18-year-old Grace’s whole life has been impacted by its fallout. Now, as she faces an internal quake that’s potentially even more devastating, her ex-best friend Charlie suddenly reappears. Can all her questions finally be answered? Or is everything she thought she knew about to implode? It is a story about love and loss, friendship, countering differences, the search for a unique identity and the many faces of resilience.
